Grieving Texas father: My daughter died at Camp Mystic because I taught her to obey authority

By Matthew Childress | Commentary, Houston Chronicle On July 4, 2025, my 18-year-old daughter Chloe Madeline Childress was killed. Not in a car or hunting accident, but because she listened to me as her father. I taught her respect for others. I taught her right from wrong. I taught her to obey orders and to listen to those in authority.

They never saw it coming: Kerrville flood sparks call for weather readiness

By RMV Staff At least 82 people lost their lives in Kerrville when floodwaters tore through the area in the middle of the night. Families had no warning. Rain poured harder and faster than forecasted. In Kerrville, the flood was already doing damage before most people knew it was coming. Surging rapidly in the darkness, the Guadalupe River caught sleeping Texans off guard. A Western Colorado weather aficionado contacted RMV following the tragedy to urge more people to take advantage of advanced mobile tools. “As a weather enthusiast with 55 years of experience, I’ve seen major advances in the past decade, including apps that let you track storm signatures and receive early warning alerts,” he said. “Radar Omega puts that in the palm of your hands.” He described receiving an Eme...
