A Texas flood survivor has recalled the blood-curdling screams of families trapped in RVs, pounding on windows as raging floodwaters swept them away.
Lorena Guillen, owner of the Blue Oak RV Park in Ingram, near San Antonio, went door-to-door in the early hours of Friday morning, frantically trying to wake her residents as water surged around them.
But as the flood rose foot by foot, she watched helplessly as vehicles floated by with families still inside, ‘screaming’ for help and ‘banging against the windows.’
Blue Oak, a popular spot for RVs and stay-in cabins is no longer standing — all that remains are the slabs where cabins once stood.
As of Tuesday morning, the flash floods have taken the lives of at least 104 people, with authorities warning the death toll is almost certainly going to continue to rise.
The search for missing people continues today, but efforts are now considered recovery missions.
Efforts are focused further west along the Guadalupe River at Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp where 27 campers and counselors died after being swept away by floodwaters.
Haunting photos captured inside the cabins show how the century-old camp that thousands of women have once called home now resembles a scene from a horror disaster film.
