Heartbreaking. No words come close to the anguish that so many families are going through after the deadly South and Central Texas floods. The death toll from the floods has surpassed 100, including 27 campers and staff from Camp Mystic, which sits along the Guadalupe River. And as of right now, 10 are still missing from the camp, along with dozens of others in the area. While there have been some incredible rescues thus far, especially from Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskin, who saved over 160 campers, many families are left heartbroken with loved ones still unaccounted for. It will likely be weeks, if not months, before we know the full death toll and extent of the damage from the devastating flash flooding. One of those families suffering a significant loss is the Texas country legend and Grammy nominee, Pat Green. Yesterday, July 7th, Green shared the following statement on his social media pages: “Over the weekend, during the devastating flooding that hit Central Texas, my family – like so many others – suffered a heartbreaking and deeply personal loss. We are grieving alongside countless Texans whose lives have been upended by this tragedy. Right now, we kindly ask for privacy and space as we mourn, support each other, and begin to process what comes next for our family. Thank you for your love, prayers, and compassion.” While Pat did not disclose how they were affected, our hearts ached for his family. A loss, no matter how big or small, in a time like this is devastating. After Pat shared that on social media, his wife, Kori, shared more information about their family’s situation on her social media pages, and it’s unimaginable. Kori shared that Pat’s youngest brother, John, his wife, Julia, and two children were swept away in the flood. “We are so thankful for the outpouring of love and concern. Pat’s little brother John, his wife, Julia, and two of their children were swept away in the Kerrville flood. We are heartbroken and anxiously waiting for all of them to be found. Thank you for your prayers.” Green’s youngest brother, John Burgess, and his wife, Julia, were staying in the Texas Hill Country to go pick up their eldest daughter at a camp that was not impacted by the flooding. The family had rented a place at the Blue Oak RV Park in Kerr County, which was the region most affected by the floods. When the Guadalupe River began to rise, the RV park was a location that was nearly washed away by the floodwaters. Lorena Guillen, the owner of Blue Oak RV Park, shared with the New York Times that when the family arrived, their two younger children were so excited to be there. But tragedy struck, and the family was swept up by the waters. Guillen said that when RVs began to wash away, they went banging on doors to try to get people to safety, but for some of the tenants, the floodwaters had already reached them. Guillen had seen Burgess with his sons and tried to help save the children, but it was too late… “My husband was in the water trying to ask them, ‘Please throw me your baby!’ The man was holding tight to his babies, and he just got swept away.” Guillen recalled the whole night as horrific, saying that they could hear cries for help as the waters continued to sweep up everything in their path. “We heard people screaming throughout the night. The cabins from the RV park next door came floating, and they were getting smashed against the trees. ‘Help me! Help me!’ — that was the main thing. You heard a lot of screaming, it was just too much.” KHOU via CNN Newsource reported that today, July 8th, John Burgess was found dead, and Julia Burgess’ body was recovered on Monday. At the time of writing, their two boys have still not been accounted for. Our hearts go out to the Green and Burgess family, and we continue to pray that their two boys will be found alive.
