Texas Hill Country continues to face dangerous flood conditions, with new stories of survival emerging daily. Recently, a man and woman survived a terrifying ordeal after their car was swept away by floodwaters in Lampasas County. The Texas Game Wardens shared details of the incident on Facebook, highlighting the dramatic rescue.
The pair was driving when floodwaters forced their car through a square culvert beneath railroad tracks. The vehicle became completely submerged, leaving them trapped inside. Despite the danger, the man and woman managed to escape the sinking car.
Emergency responders found the man clinging to a tree about 15 feet above the rushing water in the early hours. Meanwhile, rescuers discovered the woman 50 to 100 yards downstream, also holding onto a tree. The swift current had carried their vehicle nearly a mile from where it entered the floodwaters.
Officials expressed relief at the successful Texas floodwaters rescue. “We are grateful to have reached them in time,” the Texas Game Wardens stated. They also acknowledged the tragedy that has affected many in the region recently.
Lampasas County Sheriff’s Office referred all questions to the Texas Game Wardens, who led the rescue effort. So far, no additional information about the two survivors’ conditions has been released.
This event comes shortly after heavy rains caused the Guadalupe River to flood parts of Central Texas. That flood killed over 130 people and left many more missing, according to reports.
Despite challenges and questions about emergency response, many survivors praise the rescuers. For example, Alden Towler thanked rescuers on social media after he and his family escaped by climbing onto their cabin roof. Towler described the flood as a reminder of human compassion and the power of love during hardship.
The Texas floodwaters rescue highlights the dangers faced by residents but also shows hope through courageous efforts. Authorities continue to work hard to save lives amid ongoing floods.
