Blair and Brooke were the students at St. Rita Catholic School in Dallas who were staying with their grandparents, Mike and Charlene Harbar, at a cabin in the gated Casa Bonita community in Hunt, Texas, alongside the river. The deceased parents, RJ and Annie Harber were in a separate cabin when the floodwaters struck. As the river roared to life around 3:30 am, Brooke sent a final text to her parents and grandparents: “I love you”.

Although RJ and Annie attempted to navigate the raging waters in the borrowed kayak but were thwarted by the powerful current. They were among the 850 people who were reduced during the disaster, unfortunately, their daughters were declared dead.

According to the reports, the flooding began in the early hours of July 4, 2025, when torrential rain caused the Guadalupe River to surge within 45 minutes, later transforming the serene waterway into a deadly force. The deluge swept through homes, vehicles and summer camps, including Camp Mystic, where 27 children and staff perished and others remained missing. 

In Kerr County alone, 75 deaths have been reported. Rescue efforts are ongoing amid catastrophic floods.

The devastating flood along the Guadalupe River in Central Texas has claimed at least 82 lives so far, as per the official reports.
