Keli Rabon, a mother of two children who escaped safely in a Texas field, described the heartbreaking moment when he realized that the region's high waters were “much more serious” than he initially believed in “The story”.

“Once I saw Camp Mystic's statement that your daughter is fine if you have not yet notified you, I thought, oh my God, this is much more serious than that initial initial text message [on July 4th] I would have made me believe: “Rabon recalled on Monday.” And then, in a couple of hours, I decided that I needed to climb to the car and go, you know, a mother on a mission to reach my children.

Rabon described his 7 -year -old how to still be in a “shock stateAdding that you remember that the water was high enough to break the window.
