The tragedy that has occurred in Texas in the last few days is one of the most fatal disasters over the past 50 years in the United States. A large number of victims and extensive destruction provide great confusion of local authorities. At the same time, they raise questions about how this can happen and what needs to be done to prevent a similar scenario in the future. Especially family members and parents who have lost their children during the flood are looking for answers. A large number of children who were killed in floods are especially shocking.
A religious summer camp for girls called “Camp mystic” has become a tragic symbol. Almost 750 girls were in the summer camp during the accident. Photos from the camp illustrate destructive effects. There are dirt and fragments in the buildings, between the mattresses on which the camp participants were sleeping. Personal objects, such as soft toys or pleasant ceilings, are scattered throughout the territory.
The governor of Texas Gregg Ebbott, who received an idea of the situation on Saturday, said that he had never experienced such devastation with a natural disaster. “The height of the raging water, which reached the ceiling of the buildings, was shocking.”
People are still absent
According to official information, at least 27 girls, managers and camp employees died in the Mystic camp. Ten more people from the summer camp are still absent. Many people were surprised by the water masses during sleep. Sprinkled rains guaranteed that the Guadalup river joined the shore in the early morning of July 4. The nature of nature flooded entire areas. Photos and videos from the affected regions show vehicles that are in the tops of trees and houses where there are no whole walls or where you can only see a bunch of fragments.
Although the American weather service warned NWS about a “life -threatening situation” a few hours before the accident, this warning did not appear for many people. According to official statements, the background, how can happen, should be considered more accurately in the coming days and weeks.
However, Senator -Republican Ted Cruz explained that the reduction in the Fema Civil Protection Management and the National Weather Service, which were called by the Trump government, did not lead to any delay in predictions and warnings. “The time will come when it comes to clarifying what could be done in the other way. I hope that over time we will pull the teachings that we can implement during the next flood, ”said the Senator from Texas on Monday.
