When the Water Takes Everything: A Personal Reflection on the Texas Floods

There are moments that split our lives into before and after. What happened in Texas on July 4th wasn’t just a natural disaster — it was a heartbreaking reminder of how fragile everything can be. 

More than 80 lives lost. Dozens still missing. A holiday turned tragedy in just hours. Families separated. Children swept away at summer camp. A teacher, a nurse, a young camper, a couple searching for peace — all suddenly caught in a storm no one saw coming. 

We watched in disbelief as the stories unfolded. And behind every statistic, there was a name, a face, a loved one. This isn’t just news — it’s real life. 

Are We Truly Prepared?

In flood-prone areas like Texas, Florida, and others along the Gulf Coast, preparation should never be optional. And yet, many still believe flood insurance is unnecessary. “It won’t happen to me.” “My home insurance will cover it.” 

But the truth is: it doesn’t. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage. 

Floods don’t just destroy property — they shatter stability, dreams, and peace of mind. And unfortunately, many families only learn this after the storm hits. 

This Isn’t Fear. It’s Responsibility.

If it happened in your town… If it was your child at that camp…  If it was your home under water… Would you be ready?
