'I wish you could see 'before' shots to show how devastating it is,' she wrote under one video taken from the back of a law enforcement truck, showing cars scattered like toys and rural houses reduced to matchsticks.
In another video, a busload of young girls sing worship songs in between weeping as they ride through the devastation to a reunification center.
'The girls are singing to try and calm everyone,' Page wrote.
More than 850 people were rescued within 36 hours of the start of the flash flooding, which came after a sudden storm dumped more than a foot of rain on the region.

Some 400 first responders from 20 city, state, and national agencies are frantically searching for 11 girls and a counselor who are still missing from the camp, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said at a Sunday press conference.

When asked why the camps weren't evacuated before the water level rose, and whether emergency alerts went out in time, Leitha and city manager Dalton Rice declined to comment, abruptly ending Sunday's 10 a.m. press conference.
Rescuers face toppled trees, overturned cars, large piles of mud-filled debris, and other obstacles as they continue their rescue efforts.

At least 104 people are dead, and many others remain unaccounted for after a devastating storm and catastrophic flooding battered a swath of central Texas on the Fourth of July. Deadly floodwaters rose as much as 26 feet high over the Guadalupe River, killing at least 27 children and counselors from Camp Mystic, the Kerr County all-girls Christian summer camp located about 60 miles northwest of San Antonio. The death toll continues to rise as rescue efforts continue for missing people by air, land and water. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, confirmed that authorities have rescued over 850 people since the flooding broke out. "Texas is grieving right now. The pain, the shock of what has transpired these last few days, has broken the heart of our state," Cruz said at a news conference Monday, July 7. "There are moms and dads that are grieving right now. This is every parent's nightmare, and I will say the pain and tears have been indescribable."

How Blind Dog Says Goodbye to Sibling After 14 Years Together Breaks Hearts
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A video of a blind canine saying goodbye to her doggy sibling of over 14 years left viewers sobbing. For owner Omer, known on TikTok as @huskypensioners, it felt like only yesterday he helped welcome his dog's litter of puppies into the world. He's been with two of the pups, Tyson and Yuki, every day since their birth about 14 years and eight months ago. Tyson and Yuki were in a pack of five dogs, including their mother. As the canines aged, the pack number decreased, and these siblings were the last living ones from the family. But another heartbreaking loss occurred in June when Tyson started rapidly declining. Tyson has always been a fighter; he survived two cancer operations, was hit by a car, had a seizure and battled through arthritis. During the last three months, the Siberian husky required daily assistance after his legs gave out. Then an infection led to his family making the heartbreaking decision. It was his time to cross the rainbow bridge. With Yuki just as much part of the family, Omer wanted her to have her final goodbye too, especially as she could tell something was off. Being blind, she could not physically see his decline, but her intuition was strong. She knew it was time, especially when Tyson no longer joined them on walks. In a June 25 TikTok video, Omer brought Yuki over to Tyson after he passed, holding her as she stepped closer. She stood frozen, slowly processing that Tyson would no longer be there. Omer bent down. He hugged Yuki in an attempt to offer comfort. Newsweek reached out to @huskypensioners via TikTok for additional comment. Screenshots from a June 25 TikTok video of an owner bringing his blind canine to say a final goodbye to the doggy sibling who passed.

Viewers joined Omer and the family in crying over the difficult loss, while many also thanked him for giving Yuki a chance to say goodbye. "I am truly sorry for your loss. Tyson was such a brave boy, and the incredible love and care you gave him is what kept him going for as long as he did. Letting Yuki say goodbye must have been incredibly hard, but it was the kindest thing, as you gave her the chance to understand and grieve in her own way," said one viewer. Another added: "So lovely that she got to say goodbye, it's so important for them. Until they meet again at the rainbow bridge." A third user commented: "You did the right thing letting her say goodbye." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Texas flooding one of deadliest mass casualty events for US children in past 100 years
The catastrophic flooding that swept through central Texas on the Fourth of July has the grim distinction of being one of the deadliest events for US children in the past 100 years. Of the 89 people confirmed dead so far, at least 27 are kids, many of them from Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp located just a few hundred feet from the banks of the Guadalupe River in Hunt in Kerr County. As of Monday afternoon, officials said 10 of the little campers are still unaccounted for as rescue efforts continue around the clock. 11 A cabin destroyed by the flooding at Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas seen on July 5, 2025.

REUTERS 11 At least 27 children have been killed in the devastating floods. The unimaginable tragedy puts the Texas flash floods among other mass-casualty events involving children since 1925. New London School Explosion (1937) 11 The scene of the explosion at the London School in New London, Texas in 1937. Bettmann Archive A natural-gas leak at an elementary school in New London, Texas — then called London — led to an explosion that destroyed the London School on March 18, 1937, killing 295 people, most of them children. That year, the London school board had opted to tap into Parade Gasoline Company's residue gas line in an effort to save money. It was a gas-line connection that the United States Bureau of Mines later concluded was faulty. 11 One of the victims in the New London explosion getting his injuries treated. Bettmann Archive The botched job resulted in in odorless, colorless natural gas flooding the school unnoticed until a shop teacher turned on an electric sander, with the switch creating a spark that ignited the gas, an investigation concluded. Hartford Circus Fire (1944) 11 The fire at a Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus tent in 1944. Bettmann Archive A Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus big-top tent water-proofed by a combination of paraffin wax and 6,000 gallons of gasoline sparked one of the worst fire disasters in US history, killing 167 people, including an estimated 100 children. Around 7,000 people packed the big top for a 2:15 p.m. performance July 6, 1944, most of them women and children. The paraffin and gasoline combination was a common way of waterproofing fabrics at the time — but also made the 200-by-450-foot tent highly flammable. The fire began on the southwest side of the tent's sidewall as The Flying Wallendas were performing. The bandleader noticed the flames and instructed the band to start playing John Philip Sousa's 'The Stars and Stripes Forever' — a tune known to circus performers as a signal something was amiss. Ringmaster Fred Bradna attempted to direct the audience to get up from their seats and leave in an orderly fashion, but the fire had shorted out the power, rendering his warning inaudible. Bath School massacre (1927) 11 The scene of the bombing at the Bath School in Michigan in 1927. Bettmann Archive The Bath School massacre was a bombing attack perpetrated by a deranged school board treasurer against the Bath Consolidated School in Bath Township, Mich., on May 18, 1927, killing 38 children and six adults. Andrew Kehoe, 55, who was incensed over losing an election for township clerk a year earlier and also facing foreclosure on his property, placed hundreds of pounds of explosives under the school with the intention of detonating them in an act of 'murderous revenge.' Before detonating the explosives, which were connected to an alarm clock timer in the school's basement, Kehoe murdered his wife and burned his farm to the ground. As rescuers frantically combed through the rubble, he drove a truck loaded with even more explosives and packed with metal debris to create shrapnel up to the schoolyard and detonated it, killing himself and four others. Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting (2012) 11 Authorities at the scene of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012. Getty Images The deadliest elementary-school shooting in US history was carried out Dec. 14, 2012, in Newtown, Conn., by 20-year-old former student Adam Lanza, who murdered 26 people including 20 children ages 6 and 7 before shooting himself in the head. Just before he left his home to commit the heinous act, Lanza shot and killed his mother. He then drove to the school in her car, dressed in black clothing and armed with a Bushmaster XM-15, an AR-style semi-automatic rifle, and unleashed his carnage. 11 People gathered for a prayer vigil at St. Rose Church in Newtown following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Oklahoma City bombing (1995) 11 The scene of the explosion at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995. Getty Images The deadliest act of domestic terrorism in US history, committed by a pair of anti-government extremists, killed 168 people on April 19, 1995, 19 of them children. Timothy McVeigh and his accomplice, Terry Nichols, detonated a rented Ryder truck full of explosives in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Okla., reportedly outraged by how the US government handled recent incidents such as the Ruby Ridge standoff in 1992 and the Waco, Texas, siege in 1993. The blast destroyed more than a third of the building, which later had to be demolished. The high number of child victims was due to the America's Kids Day Care Center located in the building. Uvalde school shooting (2022) 11 A memorial outside of Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas after the mass shooting. Anadolu Agency via Getty Images Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, was the site of another one of America's worst school shootings, where 18-year-old former student Salvador Ramos killed 19 pupils and two teachers May 24, 2022. On the day of the shooting, Ramos drove to the school and entered a classroom after breezing by cops stationed in the hallways. He remained inside classrooms shooting victims for 1 hour and 14 minutes before the US Border Patrol Tactical Unit broke in and shot him. The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Department was roundly criticized for waiting around idle as Ramos perpetrated the attack. Two officers, including chief Pedro Arredondo, were later criminally indicted for their alleged mishandling of the shooting response.
