Camp Mystic Director Dies While Trying To Save Kids During Texas Flooding
Tara Bradburn, a mother of a 16-year-old girl who was rescued from Camp Mystic, told "Fox Report" that the family is devastated by the destruction and deaths and will continue to cling to faith as rescuers continue to search for missing loved ones.
"There are children out there that need to be found, and we want the EMS and national federal services and the state services to continue to stay on the job as they have said they are going to because we have children that need to be found and need to be reunited with their parents," Bradburn said.

Temperatures to dip a few degrees this week as rain chances increase in North Texas
Happy Sunday! Temperatures are forecasted to climb to 97 degrees by the afternoon. There is still a decent amount of moisture in the atmosphere, which will increase the feels-like temperature to 103 degrees. Winds are from the southeast around 5 to 10 mph. Mostly sunny skies are expected with a chance of isolated storms for the eastern counties on Sunday. No severe weather is anticipated, but strong wind gusts will remain a possibility. As an upper-level ridge shifts to the west, an upper-level low-pressure system will influence North Texas's weather pattern this week. As a result, temperatures will remain seasonable, and rain chances will increase. It's the first week of school for some, so make sure the kids pack an umbrella. By the start of the next weekend, an upper-level ridge will build once again. Temperatures will climb and rain chances diminish.

Extreme heat continues across North Texas this weekend as the indices peak at 108 degrees
Happy tax-free weekend. It'll be a great Saturday to head into the air-conditioned stores – highs will be flirting near the triple digits with heat index up to 108 degrees. A Heat Advisory is in effect for most of North Texas until about 7 p.m. The dry and hot weather this week was caused by a ridge of high pressure dominating in the upper levels of the atmosphere. This ridge is expected to shift to the west over the next few days, which will allow for a change in the weather pattern. Temperatures will be on the decline, eventually dipping below average through mid-week next week. Pop-up showers and storms will also be possible. As of now, no severe weather is expected. Stay tuned.

Local volunteers to feed flood survivors in Texas
Aug. 9—A Priceville-based volunteer organization, North Alabama Boys, will travel to Texas on Sept. 7 to feed flooding victims and volunteers. Rand Hutchison, North Alabama Boys' leader, said the group wants to provide three meals a day through Sept. 14 while there. "Our first thought has always been the food, to cook for people and cook for them well," Hutchison said. "We've found it's our little niche to show up a little later than everybody else. There's obviously a big need when a disaster first happens. There are other groups that go in and they meet that need, which is fantastic, but as always, the support starts to kind of dwindle a bit as time goes on." The group will travel to central Texas, where catastrophic flooding killed at least 130 people and damaged the houses and property of countless others over the Fourth of July weekend. Although the volunteers have contacts in Kerr County, where some of the most severe flooding occurred, they're open to traveling elsewhere as they're needed. Similar to its efforts in North Carolina last year, the organization wants to provide "good Alabama barbecue and good Alabama cooking" to the people in need, Hutchison said. Meals will include breakfast burritos and ribeye sandwiches or hamburgers. A mix of old and new faces totaling 12 volunteers will travel to Texas. At this time, contacts in Texas tell the group they'll know other specific needs closer to September. "We're going to go with a goal of being very adaptable," Hutchison said. "If we get there and we see a need, we're going to meet the need." The nonprofit is still reaching out to local organizations and businesses to gather supplies. Burningtree Country Club will provide some of the food items, according to Hutchison. North Alabama Boys has a fundraising goal of $15,000 to cover the cost of the relief effort. Hutchison said the group has raised around $10,000 so far. With these funds, volunteers should be able to feed between 300 and 400 people each day. Anybody wanting to get involved or make a donation can either visit the organization's Facebook page, NA Boys, or its website, Another local volunteer group, Project Unify, has also helped in Texas since the flooding. "We are currently still in and out of the work in Texas," its website reads. "The flooding that devastated communities has left behind lots of work. It is our goal to represent the body of Christ in service, as well as in teaching. ... We request your prayers, involvement, and if possible your support as we continue forward with these efforts. To God be the glory!" The nonprofit's website, includes a PayPal QR code and donation link. — or 256-340-2437
