Mobile couple, granddaughter still missing after Texas flood. Daughter-in-law's body found
Ileana and Eddie Santana Sr., their son Eddie Santana Jr., his wife Camille and their daughter Mila Rose were staying at the HTR TC Hill Country Campground in Kerrville, Texas, when their cabin was swept away by rapidly rising floodwaters.
The Guadalupe River, which borders the campground, rose 26 feet in just 45 minutes.
Santana Jr., who is reported by a fundraising link to be an active-duty member of the military, managed to escape the flood waters after being sucked in by climbing onto a tree, where he held on for hours before being rescued. He was hospitalized with head and side lacerations and released on July 6.
It was reported that when he was in the hospital, he was notified that his wife, daughters and parents were still missing.
Camille Santana's body recovered, sister confirms in Facebook post
On July 8, search crews recovered Camille's body. Her sister, Kali, confirmed the news in a Facebook post.
"As of today, my beautiful sister Camille was found and was called by God to be by his side," she said.
As of Wednesday, the search continues for Ileana and Eddie Santana Sr. and Mila Rose.
119 reported dead, an Alabama girl reported among victims
The flooding has claimed the lives of at least 119 people, and at least 170 people are still missing, according to a USA Today report. The hardest hit county, Kerr County, reported 95 deaths, with at least three dozen of them being children.
Among the victims was Sarah Marsh, an eight-year-old from Mountain Brook, Alabama. She was attending Camp Mystic, a Christian retreat for girls located near the Guadalupe River.
Greg Abbott, President Trump respond to relief efforts
Gov. Greg Abbott vowed that authorities would "work around the clock" to locate those still unaccounted for. In a post on X, Abbott called the search efforts the state's "#1 job."
On Sunday, President Donald Trump approved a major disaster declaration for Kerr County, activating FEMA to aid in recovery and search efforts.

Powerball winning numbers for July 19 drawing: $288 million jackpot
The Powerball jackpot rose to $288 million ahead of the Saturday, July 19, drawing after no one won the top prize on Wednesday, July 16. The drawing offered a one-time cash payment of $128.8 million for anyone who matched all five numbers and the Powerball on Saturday night. There have been four Powerball jackpot winners in 2025, most recently on May 31, when a person in California won the $204.5 million prize. A lucky player in Oregon had the first jackpot-winning Powerball ticket of 2025, netting $328.5 million on Jan. 18. A second jackpot winner matched all six Powerball numbers on March 29, winning $527 million. A third jackpot winner from Kentucky won the $167.3 million prize on April 26. Check below to see the winning numbers for Saturday's Powerball drawing. Powerball winning numbers for 7/19/2025 The winning numbers for the Saturday, July 19, drawing are 28, 48, 51, 61, 69 and a Powerball of 20. Winning lottery numbers are sponsored by Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network. Did anyone win the Powerball? There were no winners for the Saturday, July 21 drawing, so the Powerball jackpot increases to an estimated $308 million for the Monday, July 21 drawing. To find the full list of previous Powerball winners, click the link to the lottery's website. When is the next Powerball drawing? The next drawing will take place on Monday, July 21, just after 11 p.m. ET. How to play the Powerball To play the Powerball, you have to buy a ticket for $2. You can do this at a variety of locations, including your local convenience store, gas station, or even grocery store. In some states, Powerball tickets can be bought online. Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls with numbers from 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26. People can also add a 'Power Play' for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes. The 'Power Play' multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X. If you are feeling unlucky or want the computer to do the work for you, the 'Quick Pick' option is available, where computer-generated numbers will be printed on a Powerball ticket. To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball. Powerball drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. If no one wins the jackpot, the cash prize will continue to tick up. Where to buy lottery tickets Tickets can be purchased in person at gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores.

Watch puppies react to sting rays, sharks, more at Australia aquarium
A group of future guide dogs in Australia enjoyed a day out at the aquarium as part of their training process. Video footage shows the 9-week-old pups named Bruce, Betsy, Bronte and Barkley visiting the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium in Australia and observing the marine life there. The pups, managed by Petbarn, Australia's largest integrated pet care provider, visited the aquarium as part of their training as future seeing eye dogs for Australians who are blind or have low vision. Watch: Pups react to marine life at Sea Life Sydney Aquarium Petbarn Foundation Manager Janelle Miller told USA TODAY over email on Sunday, July 13, that the puppies "displayed a perfect balance of curiosity and composure" and "explored their environment with interest, observing marine life and investigating different textures while remaining attentive to their handlers.' Which animals did they respond to the most? While the pups observed the oceanarium in awe, they particularly reacted to "large marine life such as sting rays, sharks and turtles moving overhead with appropriate curiosity," Miller said. "They also had a cute interaction with two of SEA LIFE Sydney's scuba divers who were cleaning the tank," she added. Why did the pups visit the aquarium? Bruce, Betsy, Bronte and Barkley are in the initial stages of their development to become Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs, according to Miller, who said the "complete training process takes approximately two years before they're matched with a client who is blind or has low vision." Miller added the dogs' visit to the aquarium was part of the Petbarn Foundation's annual Seeing Eye Dog Appeal, which aims to raise awareness around the foundation's mission and funds to "train 22 Seeing Eye Dogs for Australians who are blind or have low vision." The visit also provides "valuable exposure to unique sensory experiences that these puppies wouldn't encounter in everyday settings," Miller said, explaining the pups experience "different lighting conditions, reflective surfaces, unusual sounds, and varied floor textures" at the aquarium. Puppies 'highly receptive' to new experiences at this age Miller said the puppies' age "represents a critical developmental period" in their training. "At this age, they're highly receptive to new experiences, which is essential for building the foundation for their future work as Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs," Miller said. In their daily life, the puppies also enjoy obstacle courses and exploring new environments, all of which are essential components of their training, according to Miller. Petbarn works with different dog breeds such as Labradors, Golden Retrievers and Lab/Golden crosses. The breeds are specifically chosen for "their intelligence, temperament, and physical attributes that make them well-suited for training," Miller said.
