In an extraordinary story of survival, three young girls missing after devastating Texas floods were found alive Sunday inside the hollow trunk of a massive oak tree, just a mile from the wreckage of Camp Wrenwood.
Emily Rivera, Zoey Nash, and Hope Lin had endured nearly ten days with no food or fire, relying on rainwater collected in plastic wrappers and survival skills learned during a recent camp drill. Huddled together, they stayed quiet, stayed dry, and kept each other’s spirits up, whispering about their families.
A volunteer hiker first heard their cries, prompting a rescue that has since inspired the nation. Though weak and covered in insect bites and minor cuts, the girls are now recovering in the hospital, hailed as symbols of courage, hope, and unbreakable bonds.
