Texas National Guard troops evacuated a group of stranded summer campers near Kerrville on Sunday after flash floods inundated low-lying areas along the Guadalupe River. Video released by the Texas Military Department shows soldiers escorting the campers—many of them young girls—into high-water vehicles before driving them to safety. No injuries were reported among the evacuees. The rescue is part of a broader emergency response to what state officials describe as catastrophic flooding across the Texas Hill Country. Crews have been conducting round-the-clock search-and-rescue operations since heavy storms swept the region late last week, swelling rivers and cutting off multiple rural communities. Governor Greg Abbott said the state has deployed all available resources, including additional National Guard units and state troopers, to Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt and other affected areas. He urged residents to heed local evacuation orders and avoid driving through flooded roadways while recovery efforts continue.
