Byline: Bastrop County, Texas – July 2025
In a stunning turn of events, federal rescue officials today released a newly updated flood rescue map based on satellite imaging, drone surveillance, and field data from the past 72 hours — and what it reveals has left experts, families, and the entire nation in shock.
The map shows an unprecedented V-shaped surge pattern in the Texas floodwaters — a rare and chaotic formation that carved a direct and violent path just 700 meters from Camp Wrenwood, the site where 27 girls vanished during last week’s sudden deluge.

“We expected a straight path of runoff — not two waves that curled, trapped, and collided in a concentrated ravine. That kind of flow pattern has never been documented at this scale in U.S. flood history.”
