In this emotional and in‑depth episode, Mike Force explores the devastating flash floods that struck Central Texas over the July 4th weekend, turning a holiday into a crisis.
With over 100 lives lost and more than 160 people still missing, this event has become one of the deadliest flash flood disasters in recent U.S. history.
We dive into:
• The unprecedented surge along the Guadalupe River rising more than 20 feet in under an hour and its origins in Tropical Storm Barry’s remnants
• The heart‑wrenching stories from places like Camp Mystic, where at least 27 campers and counselors died, including young children aged 8 and 9
• Heroes on the ground: early rescue missions saved hundreds, but still, more than 160 people remain missing, with search efforts ongoing
• The controversies sparking debate from outdated warning systems and county sirens to staffing cuts at the National Weather Service forcing communities to ask hard questions about preparedness and prevention.
Why This Episode Matters: Beyond the staggering statistics, this episode brings you into the lives forever changed by the floods. Join us for a moving, thoughtful reflection on loss, community, and what must change going forward.
