A retired nurse, her son and a family friend say they were lucky to survive last week's flash floods in Texas that killed more than 100 people, including many summer campers.

The flooding has transformed Hunt into what observers are describing as a war zone, with the town bustling with search crews, first responders, and volunteers working around the clock. DPS checkpoints have been established to keep out those who don't live in the area as recovery efforts continue.

Nearly a week after deadly floods struck Central Texas, search and rescue teams are continuing to probe debris for those still missing.

Renee Smajstrla, a 8-year-old straight-A student from Ingram, Texas, who had played a role in her school’s production of “The Wizard of Oz,” was one of the victims who died in the flash floods at Camp Mystic, her family said.

Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt has given a massive donation to flood relief efforts in Central Texas, through the MLS team he owns, FC Dallas.
