At leastThe McNair family, including Cal McNair, Hannah McNair and Janice McNair, issued the following statement about this dire situation. “We are heartbroken by the loss and damage that our neighbors in the Texas Hill Country have endured,” the statement said. “We are especially devasted to hear about the children who are missing and we are praying they are reunited with their families soon. Our hearts will remain with everyone affected and, in addition to our donation, we will continue to support the search, rescue and recovery efforts in the coming weeks.” Emergency crews are searching for missing campers after the catastrophic floods that hit Camp Mystic, a private Christian girls camp in Kerry County. Among the dead, according to Kerr County officials: nine children. Destructive, fast-moving waters alongside the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in just 45 minutes early Friday morning as the rising tide washed away homes and cars. Flash flood warnings are still in effect. “To the parents out there who are watching and are unsure — but especially to those who received a call from Camp Mystic letting you know your daughter is not accounted for — I want all of you to know we will do everything humanly possible, 24/7,” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said during a press conference. “Looking at every tree, turning over every rock, whatever it takes. If your child is one of those truly missing and not just out of touch, we will do everything we can to find your daughter. Make no mistake. We will do everything possible.”Houston firefighters deploy to assist in Kerr County flood recoveryAaron Wilson is an award-winning Texans and NFL reporter for KPRC 2 and www.click2houston.com.
