The Texas Flood that Changed Everything for One Mom

When flash floods tore through Central Texas on July 4th, Keli Rabon woke up to every parent's worst nightmare: a text from her sons' summer camp saying they were losing power and cell service as the water rose. Within hours, her boys were trapped in one of the deadliest floods in Texas history — just five minutes from the camp where multiple children lost their lives. What came next was chaos, heartbreak, and a mother's fight to find her sons. As news of the Texas flood spread across social media, Keli saw something she'll never forget: a cabin from Camp La Junta floating down the river. In that moment, she knew the nightmare was real. Her sons, Brock and Braeden, were stranded inside, clinging to bunks and rafters while teenage counselors fought to keep them alive. Now, Keli is sharing the full story — what really happened inside those cabins, why "kids were saving kids," and how a summer camp with 400 children had no evacuation plan. She opens up about the moment she finally reunited with her boys across the street from a funeral home where other parents were identifying victims, and how she's turned her pain into purpose. From surviving a historic Texas flood to rebuilding life after heartbreak and loss, Keli Rabon's journey is one of resilience, grief, and strength. It's raw. It's emotional. And it's a story you'll never forget. Got something to get off your chest? Call/Text the Certified Oversharer hotline: (704) 765-2477. You might just hear your story on a future episode.
