The catastrophic Texas floods have now claimed at least 111 lives, with 172 people still missing. Kerr County remains the hardest hit, reporting 87 deaths – many of them children from Camp Mystic. Rescue teams continue searching debris-filled waters as hope fades for families awaiting news.
**Sisters’ Final Moments**
Blair (13) and Brooke Harber (11) were found 15 miles from where floodwaters swept them away – their hands still clasped together. Brooke’s last text at 3:30 a.m. simply read: *”I love you.”* A fundraiser for the family has surpassed $300,000 as their grandparents remain missing.
**Camp Director’s Heroic Sacrifice**
Richard “Dick” Eastland, 74, died trying to save girls trapped in Camp Mystic’s Bubble Inn cabin. His body was recovered alongside three campers in his SUV. His wife Tweety survived; 27 campers are still unaccounted for at the Christian summer camp.
**Teacher’s Family Tragedy**
Jeff Wilson’s body was identified after floodwaters tore his camper from his truck. The beloved Kingwood Park High School teacher’s death has devastated students, while his wife Amber and son Shiloh (12) remain missing. A community vigil drew hundreds.
**Final Phone Call**
Joyce Badon, 21, told her friend’s father *”They just got washed away”* before floodwaters cut the call. Her body was recovered days later, while friends Ella Cahill and Aidan Heartfield are still missing.
**Haunting Last Photo**
A final group photo shows 13 Camp Mystic girls and two counselors smiling in white outfits days before the flood. The image, showing four who remain missing, has sparked an outpouring of grief online.
**Ongoing Recovery**
With rivers still receding across multiple counties, officials warn the death toll may rise further. As stories of final moments and heroic sacrifices emerge, Texas communities unite in grief while facing the long road to recovery.
