Volunteer Carrying Water and Food Items

When Disaster Strikes, We’re Here to Help

In July 2025, historic flooding devastated Central Texas. The Guadalupe River rose over 29 feet, washing away homes, vehicles, and entire summer camps. Tragically, dozens of lives were lost, hundreds of families were displaced, and entire communities were left facing the long road to recovery.

At City Shift Finance, we’re committed to helping Texans rebuild with clarity, confidence, and smart planning.

What Happened: A Quick Summary of the 2025 Texas Floods

The July 2025 floods are among the worst in recent Texas history:

• Over 50 fatalities, including 15 children

• 27 girls missing from Camp Mystic

• 850+ people rescued by emergency teams

• Widespread loss of property, stability, and security

The emotional and financial toll will extend well beyond the waterline.

The July 2025 Texas floods are among the most destructive in recent memory. Over 50 people have died, including 15 children. At least 27 girls remain missing from Camp Mystic. Search-and-rescue efforts have saved more than 850 people, but the financial and emotional recovery will take much longer.
