As a result, numerous counties declared a state of emergency.<\/p>\n<p>Americans celebrating Independence Day were using vacation cabins, cars, and mobile homes, all of which were washed away by the floods. Since then, officials have acknowledged that over 100 people have died as a result of the floods, and an undetermined number of others are still unaccounted for.<\/p>\n<p>The floodwaters rocked a neighbouring town as 11- and 13-year-old Brooke and Blair Harber were staying with their grandparents along the river. The aunt of the girls, Jennifer Harber, has now shared further devastating details regarding the girls\u2019 discovery.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41436\" src=\"https:\/\/dailypositiveinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-147-1024x683.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailypositiveinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-147-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/dailypositiveinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-147-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/dailypositiveinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-147-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/dailypositiveinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-147-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/dailypositiveinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-147.png 1770w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Source:\u00a0Unsplash<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>\u201cMy brother and his wife Annie identified the bodies of my nieces Blair age 13 and Brooke age 11 yesterday afternoon about 12 hours after the flood that started the morning of July 4th at 3:30am,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Jennifer posted to GoFundMe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMy parents Mike and Charlene Harber have not been found as of now.
