President Trump just announced emergency federal aid for Texas following a devastating flood that swept away cabins at a girls’ summer camp — leaving at least 43 people dead, including five young girls.
Trump called the flood “terrible” and “shocking,” pledging full support: “We’ll take care of them. We’re working with the governor.”
First Lady Melania also extended prayers to affected families. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is on the ground coordinating relief.
Officials are still searching for two dozen missing children. The river rose 26 feet in 45 minutes, sweeping away homes, cabins, and campers.
This is rapidly developing — but one thing’s clear: the nation is watching closely.
Should emergency alert systems be modernized before more lives are lost?
