Texas may never forget the floods—but it will never forget how Carrie Underwood chose to stand in the water.

In early July 2025, devastating flash floods tore through Central Texas, leaving a trail of destruction, heartbreak, and national grief. Entire communities were overwhelmed as rivers burst their banks, neighborhoods were submerged, and hundreds of families lost everything.

The floods claimed the lives of over 100 people, including 27 young girls who were swept away while attending a summer camp near the Pedernales River. The tragedy shook the entire state — and soon after, the entire nation began to respond.

A Disaster That Shook Texas to Its Core

Torrential rain in the first week of July led to catastrophic flooding across key areas in Central Texas, including Kerr County, Austin, and rural regions west of San Antonio. Dozens of roads were washed away, power outages lasted for days, and search-and-rescue teams worked around the clock to locate missing persons.

Local officials called it “one of the worst natural disasters Texas has faced in decades.” President Biden declared a federal state of emergency, releasing additional funds for FEMA and the National Guard.

Corporate Giants Step Up

Some of the first major donations came from Texas-based corporations:

  • H-E-B donated over $500,000 in cash and in-kind support including food, water, diapers, and hygiene kits to affected families.

  • Texas Roadhouse pledged 10% of all restaurant sales for one week to flood relief efforts.

  • Walmart provided over $1 million in emergency supplies, including portable generators, bedding, and cleanup kits.

  • P. Terry’s Burger Stand and Whataburger initiated local fundraising campaigns in coordination with the Red Cross.

While many celebrities offered their thoughts and prayers, it was Carrie Underwood who took action in a deeply personal and generous way.

Just days after the floods made headlines, Carrie announced a $2 million donation toward flood relief, specifically to aid families affected by the tragedy at Camp Mystic. Her team coordinated with local trauma response centers, ensuring grief counseling and support for children who survived the flood.

In an emotional video message shared with her 12 million Instagram followers, she said:

“As a mother, this story broke me. I kept thinking of my own boys and what those families must be feeling. Texas, we love you. We’re with you. And we’re not leaving your side.”

Carrie also recorded a special acoustic version of “Something in the Water”, filmed barefoot by candlelight in her Nashville home, and released it as a digital single. All proceeds go directly to rebuilding community centers and trauma clinics in Kerr and Gillespie counties.

Grassroots Texas Resilience

Beyond celebrities and corporations, the real backbone of recovery has been ordinary Texans helping each other:

  • Local churches opened their doors as shelters

  • Volunteers with boats rescued stranded families from rooftops

  • Food banks across the state launched emergency drives

  • Therapists and trauma counselors offered free mental health services to survivors and children

Texans came together not for the spotlight — but because that’s who they are.

What Happens Next?

Recovery is still underway. Experts estimate over $300 million in damages, including the loss of public infrastructure, schools, parks, and hundreds of homes.

But with every donation, every helping hand, and every voice raised in support, Texas is rebuilding — stronger, united, and full of heart.

And with artists like Carrie Underwood using both her platform and her compassion, the road ahead is not only possible — it’s paved with hope.
