During the Texas flood tragedy that occurred on the Fourth of July, a mother ordered her daughters to “quit panicking” just before she passed away. The flood disaster has now claimed the lives of more than one hundred individuals.
The victims include Sherry McCutcheon and Terry Traugott’s mother, Betty West, according to the statements made by the two.
The disappearance of their brothers Doug West and Gary Traugott, who resided with Betty, has not been resolved.
Betty reportedly contacted Terry and her sister soon after midnight local time on Saturday, July 5, and encouraged them to “quit panicking” in a message as floodwaters flooded her home on Windy Valley Road in Travis County. Terry added that Betty’s call came just after midnight local time.
Sherry stated that a short while after, Doug sent a text message in which he stated that the house was “cracking apart,” and he added that it would “be a blessing” if they were able to live.
According to Sherry, the identification of Betty’s remains was accomplished through the use of fingerprinting on the evening of Sunday, July 6. In addition, the house that belonged to the mother has been completely destroyed.
And in the meantime, Doug and Gary have not been located at this time. According to Sherry, “They remained with her until the very end, even if it meant their life or death.”
However, the sisters are “not giving up” on their hunt for their brothers, despite the fact that they have a strong suspicion that “they are in heaven.” According to Terry, she and her sister go to sleep at night “crying for each other.”
“It is imperative that they return home,” Terry said. Thank you very much for bringing my brothers back home.
The number of fatalities resulting from the flood tragedy in Texas has surpassed one hundred. The expansion of it is anticipated to continue.
According to reports, officials from Kerr County have stated that various crews have discovered 84 individuals, including 28 children, throughout the region.
A total of 27 campers and counsellors from Camp Mystic, a Christian overnight camp for young women that is located in Kerr County, were among those who passed away.
