Who’s cutting onions?
In times of tragedy, seeing miracles like this warms your heart.
The city of Kerrville, Texas, and surrounding communities are rebuilding after the catastrophic floods that occurred on the 4th of July. The Guadalupe River rose over a foot every five minutes, increasing its total height by more than 20 feet in 45 minutes. The flash flood swept through an area filled with summer camps and small towns about 70 miles west of San Antonio.
One of those camps that was severely impacted was the Christian girls’ camp, Camp Mystic. Cabins on the grounds were swept up in the flood and a number of young girls were tragically killed in the floodwaters, as was Dick Eastland, longtime owner and director of Camp Mystic, who gave his life to try and save campers.
At the time of writing, the death toll has risen to 120, and rescue efforts have moved into recovery efforts.
While many families are mourning the loss of loved ones, including Texas country artist Pat Green, some good news is emerging as families return to their homes now that floodwaters have subsided.
And one family was met with the surprise of a lifetime upon returning home.
During the flood, their home was rapidly filling with water. Once the water reached their waists, they made the tough decision to get out before they were in danger. However, one of their key family members was missing: Their dog.
The heeler had run off during the storm, and when it was time to go, they could not locate the dog, making the heartbreaking choice to leave him behind to keep themselves safe.
Within 20 minutes of them leaving to visit a neighbor’s house up the hill, their entire home was flooded with water. When the water receded, their son Cody Vlasek, a senior at Ingram Tom Moore High School, made his way back into his home and heard a noise. As he began to investigate, he was stunned to see his missing dog. Alive.
“I had to break my window. When I climbed through, I heard scratching and kind of a whimper, and so I turned my head around the corner and I saw him (the dog) just floating there in the washer.”
I can only imagine the reunion that Cody had with their dog. That is a true miracle.
