A retired nurse, her son and a family friend say they were lucky to survive last week's flash floods in Texas that killed more than 100 people, including many summer campers.

The flooding has transformed Hunt into what observers are describing as a war zone, with the town bustling with search crews, first responders, and volunteers working around the clock. DPS checkpoints have been established to keep out those who don't live in the area as recovery efforts continue.
