The family of Sally Sample Graves is mourning the loss of their beloved 91-year-old matriarch, who died in the devastating flash floods that swept through the Texas Hill Country.

Kerr County officials provide an update Tuesday morning on the Central Texas flooding. Officials say 87 people have died in the county. Five campers and one counselor are still missing from Camp Mystic.

The loss of life is unimaginable. While we are still grappling with what happened, it’s important to understand the historic nature of this flood. It likely already ranks as the third-deadliest flood in Texas history.
