mary grace was in twin cabins right?

Yes. She and Blakely are both in Twin cabin.

omg dude, I just connected the dots. I feel very ashamed I didn't realize sooner. I don't know why I didn't connect you to this and to her and to our church. My sincerest apologies.

I just created a TexAgs account after following this thread intently the last couple days. I am not an Aggie, but my father is and I have many fond memories at Kyle Field and appreciate the Aggie network. It truly is one of a kind.

Like many of you, this story hits home for me. I have two sisters who were campers/counselors at Camp Mystic in the past and one of my nieces was at Camp Mystic on the 4th and was evacuated by a helicopter and thankfully is safe.

I live in the Austin area and am eager to volunteer this week in any capacity. I understand the need to keep it to the professionals right now, but I just joined Team Rubicon and am hoping they join the efforts soon.

I truly appreciate all of the information and compassion this thread has displayed. It has been a huge help. I also appreciate the information on volunteering opportunities.

Please continue to update on ways we all can help.

Oh God. I feared that with the name and Beaumont

My wife's friend's daughters were at Mystic and in the older girl cabins. They just posted a video of the girls being evacuated by bus to the elementary school where they were picked up a couple days ago. Video shows the girls singing "It only takes a spark..you want to pass it on" as they film the destruction while leaving camp. Then they cross the bridge with the still raging water and there's a moment where they all realize how fortunate they are and pray for those still missing. I mean …wow.

What's his name?

Have any other sources confirmed or reported this?

Facebook User Cord Shiflet who is volunteering on the ground posted live from search zone 41 mins ago and reported two girls were found alive 27 feet high approximately 6 miles down stream clinging to a tree. He doesn't have names or where they are from, you can find him on Facebook to watch. Again, he is not a government official but he appears to clearly be in the search/rescue/recovery area. Again take with a grain of salt until something official comes out.

I just got off the phone with my friend who drove up from Corpus Christi to help with the search. He is on a friend's ranch close to Centerpoint. He said yesterday there were few volunteers searching but today there are hundreds jumping over fences, etc. and he felt a lot better about the situation.

Yesterday he and 4-5 of the ranch hands found three bodies. Some of them on top of debris piled up about 30 feet high.

Today as he was leaving someone found a body on a new island formed in the middle of the river.

His comment was that there are probably more inside all the debris that is piled up.

Several others have posted something similar. This sounds like potentially incredible news.

His Facebook link is on page 36 too where he states it

I posted a link to that video at bottom of prior page. Some bad news, hopefully true good news, but definitely a good look at how vast and complicated such a search is.

I am so sorry. Praying.

Thanks, again I'm not getting hopes too high yet, and hope this isn't just a misreported situation that took off. Praying it's true.

Guy says two girls alive on the live feed. Don't know who this guy is.

Please Lord!

Praying for everyone. Rescuers, families, friends, canines, and victims. Northeast Texas people are thinking of you all.

It's news that spread quickly on social media, without official verification. The gentleman in the video I shared is 20-30 miles away from where the alleged find was reported. Over 48 hours in a tree would be a miracle and I hope it is true, obsessively looking for official confirmation.

Praying that this is true

From the Kerr County Lead :

2 girls found in a tree near Comfort
Two girls were rescued alive from a tree nearly 30 feet high Sunday in the flood zone between Comfort and Homillus Road in Center Point, according to multiple sources, as search teams also recovered four bodies in the area.

The dramatic rescue occurred closer to Comfort, which is in Kendall County, witnesses said. The girls were found in the tree during ongoing search operations for victims of Friday's catastrophic flooding that has killed 59 people across Kerr County.

Sources on the ground confirmed the rescue amid extensive search operations along the Guadalupe River corridor where floodwaters reached unprecedented levels Friday morning.

The rescue provides a rare moment of hope in what has become one of the deadliest natural disasters in Texas history. Search teams continue looking for 11 Camp Mystic campers and one counselor who remain missing from the flooding.

More than 400 first responders from over 20 agencies are working around the clock along the disaster zone, which extends along a 30-mile stretch of the Guadalupe River.

This is a developing story.

Edited for UPDATE - this story has been rescinded. I am so sorry that I posted this story, from a journalist with "30+ years " in the industry.

Cord is a big time realtor in Austin, multi million dollar homes only. Really impressive to see him out there like that, knows the people's names working, etc.

A miracle if true.

First local news report, still waiting for government official, but they may be working to notify families.

confirming identities on the 2 and the 4, Im sure. They'll release all at once, I'd bet.

edit: I don't know why I say that like I know anything. that's a complete and total speculation.

Amazing news. 48 hours in a tree. Unthinkable stuff

Lord be praised!!! Hopefully there's more!!!!

Probably thousands. Center Point and every side road between 27 and the Guadalupe to Comfort is packed with cars and people searching.
