Their story has gripped hearts across the nation.<\/p>\n<p>The Harber family, from Dallas, was vacationing in Hunt, Texas, at the Casa Bonita community when historic rains turned deadly. Around 3:30 a.m., floodwaters crashed through windows and doors. Brooke\u2019s final message to her father and grandparents simply read: \u201cI love you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blair and Brooke were staying with their grandparents, Mike and Charlene Harber, in a nearby cabin. Parents RJ and Annie Harber, jolted awake by the flood, broke a window to escape and tried desperately to reach their daughters\u2014but were stopped by the rising waters.<\/p>\n<p>In a desperate attempt, the parents borrowed a neighbor\u2019s kayak to reach the girls, but the current was too violent. They were rescued hours later.<\/p>\n<p>Twelve hours after the flood, crews found Blair and Brooke 15 miles downstream\u2014still holding hands. Their grandparents remain missing.<\/p>\n<p>The girls attended St. Rita\u2019s Catholic School in Dallas, where their mother works. Blair was known for her kindness and intellect, while Brooke lit up every room with laughter. They had brought their rosaries on the trip\u2014a sign of their deep faith.<\/p>\n<p>Over 80 people are confirmed dead in the floods. The Harber sisters\u2019 story has become a heartbreaking symbol of the disaster. A GoFundMe page has been launched to support the family as they search for answers\u2014and healing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sisters Found Holding Hands After Texas Flooding: A Nation Mourns Two young sisters, 13-year-old Blair Harber and 11-year-old Brooke Harber, were found dead\u2014still holding hands\u2014after flash floods&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8037,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
