“I will never forget when she told me she had a solo in the Christmas pageant,” Wade Lytal continued. “She is absolutely fearless.”

Trinity University also released information on how floods affect their communities, including Kellyanne.

“We wrote that Aidan Heartfield, a Trinity Marketing major, and Kellyanne Lytal, the young daughter of Trinity Football Offensive Coordinator Wade Lytal, at X.

“As the search and rescue efforts continue, our thoughts and prayers are with their families and loved ones. We will do everything we can to support them during this extremely difficult time.”

The flood destroyed their cabin, and after sweeping away many children and counselors in the process, Mystic Camp Mystic, an all-girl, Christian summer camp, was significantly affected.

The five girls from the Mystic Camp are the dead, the camp owner Dick Eastland.

Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said Sunday that 400 first responders from 20 different cities, state and state agencies were searching for 11 girls, and a camp counselor was still missing after the flood.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a notice Sunday announcing the day to pray across the state to deal with the flood.

President Donald Trump also told reporters on Sunday in Morristown, New Jersey that he could visit Texas on Friday.

“We have always been in touch with Governor Abbott and are very close to Governor Abbott,” Trump said.

He continued, “It's a terrible thing. It's absolutely terrible. So we say, God bless all those who have gone through so much, God bless Texas. This incredible place.”

Trump called it “a disaster of 100 years,” adding: “It's something that happened in seconds. No one expected it.”

The Department of Homeland Security argued that mainstream media “deliberately lie” the cause of flooding, saying: “Although the rains flooded the area, the National Weather Service has implemented timely, accurate forecasts and warnings in a timely manner.”
