Emma Foltz, a counsellor at Camp Mystic, is currently receiving recognition for saving the lives of fourteen campers.<\/strong>The devastating flash flood in Texas has claimed the lives of over 80 individuals. President Donald Trump has declared Kerr County a major disaster after the Guadalupe River flooded close to Kerrville, causing extensive damage.

There wasn\u2019t a lot of hustling and bustling; it wasn\u2019t a stressful situation at that point. But then again, nobody could really see the water past where this little bridge was and it\u2019s almost like a wall of water came through.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p>Sue Jones continued,\u00a0<strong>\u201cWhere we were camping, we were about 20 yards from a fork, like a little tributary of the river. And that\u2019s what we were monitoring because we\u2019re so close to it and it was well within its banks for the longest time, even throughout the night. It was rising but still within its banks, but then as soon as it started getting into the grass and out of the banks, that\u2019s when the decision was made (to leave).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, news about people trying to save others but dying themselves appeared. In the face of this unfathomable tragedy, the community has united, and despite the destruction, loss, and sadness, there are also tales of heroes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Camp Mystic counselor Emma Foltz saves 14 campers\u2019 lives<\/h2>\n<p>Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry wrote about and thanked one person, Emma Foltz, via his X account.
