Let's flood Tewas with Love and Support.

When the rain started, it sounded like any other Texas storm. But it didn’t stop.

It poured across counties, swept through streets, and crept into homes, leaving behind a silence that speaks louder than thunder.

While Granbury was spared the worst of the recent flooding, our Texas family just to the east and south wasn’t as lucky.

Rivers overflowed.

Roads disappeared.

Families were torn apart.

And now, all of us are trying to make sense of something that feels senseless.

💔 The Story That Broke Us All

In the aftermath of the storm, two young sisters were found in a heartbreaking embrace, still holding each other, even in their final moments.

We won’t post their names here out of respect for the family. But if you’ve seen the story…You know.

You felt it deep.

You saw your own children.

You thought about the people you love.

And maybe you whispered, “That could have been us.”

It’s the kind of grief that moves across towns and zip codes like the flood itself—quiet, steady, unrelenting.

🛠️ What Can We Do from Granbury?

We may not be in Houston or Wimberley or the flooded streets of East Texas, but we are part of the same Texas family. And family always shows up.

So, here’s how we can show up:

✅ Donate to trusted local relief funds like Texas Diaper Bank Disaster Relief and Feeding Texas.
✅ Support the Texas Division of Emergency Management and volunteer networks.
✅ Check your own flood plans, especially in vulnerable parts of Granbury near the Brazos and Lake Granbury.
✅ Be present. If your neighbors have family in the impacted areas, offer them a meal, a hug, or help making calls.

💛 We’re Granbury Grit

We may not know the names of those sisters, but we know their love. We know what it means to hold someone tight and not let go—especially when the world around you feels like it’s falling apart.

That’s Granbury Grit.

It’s not just tough—it’s tender.

It shows up with tools and tears.

It fills sandbags, prays hard, and organizes meal trains.

It’s real, and raw, and relentlessly kind.
