What was for millions of Americans a big holiday weekend with rest, relaxation, fun,

and a celebration for America's birthday,

turn into one of the worst and most tragic stories we've seen in recent memory, and that is

the flooding in Texas. We'll start there at Kevin Keatsman has issues. To begin this week,

after a tremendous holiday weekend of so many things that we saw from our nation's

capital to Fourth of July fireworks to picnics and celebrations and summer fun for so many

Americans while young campers were camping at Camp Mystic in Texas near Austin where my middle son lives.

And I kept getting updates and texts from him all weekend long about how bad it was and how things were going on.

But I don't think any of us envisioned this thing turning into what a devastating disaster it became for so many people in central Texas,

just an awful situation.

Let's start with a couple of the numbers here that I think are very important to understand

what it was that happened because everybody's going to want to try to place blame.

The total number of known dead at this point is 82, but there's a lot of people

missing, so it's going to grow. The sheer numbers of the rainfall are staggering. The average

rainfall in that part of Texas for the entire month of July is 2.1 inches. The record rainfall for July

in that part of Texas is 7.3 inches. That's for the entire month. On Friday and Saturday,

in one place, they got 13 and a half inches. So almost twice the record for the entire month happened in basically a 36-hour period

and watching the videos, and we've all seen them, the time lapse photography videos

of those of the Guadalupe River and others just swelling up and overwhelming bridges

and roads

and peeling away banks and taking out Camp Mystic where all those girls were camping.
