A young East Texas girl is shaping her future and educating others through the legacy of Juneteenth. This weekend, 8-year-old Jalissa’d Sims will carry that legacy to the stage as the East Texas representative for Junior Miss Juneteenth in the state finals.

Devastating flash floods from a storm that pounded central Texas have killed at least 51 people. Officials say the death toll is 43 and likely to grow in the hardest-hit area of Kerr County.

The claim circulated as rescuers searched for people missing from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls summer camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River.

RJ Harber evacuated other families but lost his young daughters in Texas’ flash flood.

My beautiful sister Camille was found and was called by god to be by his side,” Kali Vasquez wrote in a post Tuesday.

A heartbreaking video shows campers and staffers at Camp Mystic being playful and enjoying their summer hours before waters from the catastrophic Texas flash flood swept away scores of young girls.

Scott Ruskan, a Coast Guard swimmer, is credited with saving 165 people at the all-girls’ camp from deadly floods in Central Texas.
