The Houston Texans announced on Saturday that the organization is donating $500,000 to help support those affected by the devastating floods that hit the Texas Hill Country this week.
A storm swept through the area, killing at least 27 people, including nine children. Officials said that 23 to 25 girls from a summer camp in Hunt, Texas were still unaccounted for and that approximately 850 people have been rescued so far.
The camp was completely destroyed, said 13-year-old Elinor Lester, who was one of the campers at Camp Mystic. A helicopter landed and started taking people away. It was really scary.
Fast-moving waters rose to 26 feet along the Guadalupe River in less than an hour on Friday morning. Heavy rains are forecasted for Saturday with flash flood warnings and watches remaining in effect for parts of central Texas.
Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman, who spent the first nine seasons of his MLB career with the Houston Astros, has posted several times on X since Friday with photos and contact information for those still missing.
