Remembering some of the Lives Lost in the Texas Flood Tragedy

TEXAS, JUL 8 – Governor Sanders deployed 22 Arkansas National Guard members with four helicopters to assist Texas flood search and rescue under an interstate emergency aid agreement.

  • Devastating floods struck central Texas, causing significant loss of life and prompting urgent rescue efforts near Austin in early July 2025.
  • The flooding resulted from a once-in-a-century storm that overflowed the Guadalupe River, sweeping away campers and counselors at Camp Mystic.
  • Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders mobilized 22 Arkansas National Guardsmen and four Black Hawk helicopters on July 7 to assist Texas with search and rescue missions.
  • By July 9, the death toll reached 111 with 161 still missing, and Governor Greg Abbott urged Texans to fly flags at half-staff to honor flood victims.
  • The deployment extended through July 12 to support ongoing recovery, while communities mourned lives lost, including Camp Mystic's director Dick Eastland who died saving children.
