Two teenage counselors at Camp Mystic, Silvana Garza and Maria Paula, became unexpected heroes during the devastating Texas floods. As floodwaters tore through the camp, the girls kept calm, told terrified children to pack bags and stuffed animals, and even wrote names on their arms, just in case they didn’t survive. Their courage saved at least 20 young girls while 27 others from nearby branches tragically lost their lives. Eleven remain missing. Photos of the two teens have since gone viral, with Texans calling them “true heroines.” Their mother’s proud post is sweeping social media, while the statewide death toll has now climbed to 104.
