Hunt, Texas, a town known for its scenic rivers and summer camps, faced its worst flooding in decades after a relentless storm battered the region. The Guadalupe River, usually a tranquil retreat, surged past 29 feet, overwhelming everything in its path.
The speed of the disaster left little time to react. Floodwaters swallowed roads, destroyed homes, and forced desperate rescues. Helicopters circled overhead, plucking people from rooftops, while ground crews navigated debris-filled streets to reach those in need.
Miraculously, some were found safe—a missing camper was spotted downstream, and a family was pulled from their attic just in time. But the damage was immense. Neighborhoods were unrecognizable, with only concrete slabs left where houses once stood.
The community’s response was immediate. Volunteers set up shelters, distributed supplies, and offered comfort to those who had lost everything. State officials pledged support, but with power still out and roads blocked, recovery would be slow.
Through it all, Hunt’s resilience shone. The flood had tested the town, but its people refused to be broken. As cleanup began, one thing was clear—this community would rebuild, stronger than before.
