Father Dies Trying To Save Family In

The recent floods in Texas have destroyed communities; one family has shared how a father sacrificed his life to save his fiancée and children.

Texas counties that experienced flash floods on July 4 have been placed under a state of emergency.

According to authorities, the Guadalupe River rose to a perilous 26-foot level after a month’s worth of intense rain poured in a few hours.

Additionally, they stated that at least 50 people, including 15 children, have died as of this writing.

One man sacrificed his life to save his mother, his fiancée, and his children in Kerr County, one of the most severely impacted locations.

Col. Freeman Martin, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said on Friday, “We brought in over 100 troopers this morning. And they’ve worked all day, rescues, high water vehicles, boats, rescue divers, seven rescue helicopters with hoist capabilities.”

In the meantime, Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated, “We will stop at nothing to ensure that every asset and person and plane, whatever is needed, is going to be involved in the process of rescuing every last person and ensure everybody involved in this is going to be fully accounted for.”
