3 Missing Girls Found Alive 10 Days After Texas Flood: A Story of Courage and Survival
In an incredible discovery that has touched hearts across the country, three young girls who went missing during the recent Texas flood have been found alive—ten days after they were last seen. The girls, aged 8 to 10, were located Sunday afternoon inside the hollow trunk of a large oak tree, nearly a mile from the remains of Camp Wrenwood, where the flood first hit.
Remarkably, the girls were in stable condition. They had minor injuries—some scrapes, insect bites, and early signs of dehydration—but were alert and calm. Rescuers called their survival a testament to quick thinking, teamwork, and the power of hope.
According to medical teams, the girls survived by collecting rainwater using plastic wrappers from their lunch kits and squeezing moisture from leaves and clothing. Just days before the flood, they had participated in a wilderness drill at camp that taught them to stay dry, stay together, and stay quiet—simple but vital lessons they remembered and followed.
When asked how they stayed strong, the girls said they comforted each other by talking about their families. “We thought no one was coming,” Emily quietly shared, “but we believed in each other.”
The rescue has sparked an outpouring of support nationwide. Social media was filled with messages of celebration and gratitude, using hashtags like #HollowTreeHeroes and #3StrongGirls. Local churches rang their bells in celebration, and many called the girls’ bond and bravery “an inspiration for all.”
Parents, volunteers, and first responders say they will never forget the moment these three girls were brought home—and the powerful reminder that hope and unity can carry us through even the most uncertain times.
