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—still holding hands—after flash floods devastated Texas Hill Country last Friday. Their story has gripped hearts across the nation.
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’s final message to her father and grandparents simply read: “I love you.”
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—but were stopped by the rising waters.
