Obviously, there were devastating flooding and 81 people have lost their lives. Some are still missing. There is a a camp that my mom actually was a counselor at called Camp Mystic, which many of my friends went to. It sort of was a is a place that raised so many girls to become women. And it was almost like a spiritual beautiful place. And we know that that camp flooded. And I think, you know, as parents, we think about the horror of sending our kids to a place that that is supposed to be and is, you know, healing and fun and joyful and all the things that kids deserve to have and then something like this to happen. Yeah, I mean, as a parent, I'm sure all of our hearts are, are heavy and all our thoughts and our prayers, our wishes, you know, our fingers are crossed for the families, you know, that this community as well, you know, can overcome this together. This is going to be obviously it's going to be tough. But like we talked about upstairs, just as parents, a certain places that we send our kids and we feel those are the places of safety for them and the school and the camps because we know the growth and evolution that happens at these these places. But tragedy also occurs, and this is so unfortunate. My, my kids actually, I, I got dropped off at camp yesterday at another camp in Texas and, you know, putting them on the bus, saying goodbye to them. And I know so many parents whose kids are at camp or going to camp feel that way. Like, you know, we, we send our kids into the world with the faith that they can can have happy lives, joyful lives. And as adults, we know pain. We hope that our kids never face. It. Never face it, but you know, Texas is a resilient, incredible state. Y'all know, I'm a homesick Texan living in New York and it always is in my heart. And we know that so many of you want to help, are helping. And For more information on how you can help Texas, go to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief at redcross.org. But there's tons of people helping and and we are thinking of you down there and love you so much.","provider":{"id":"BBpgfym","name":"TODAY","companyLegalName":"NBCU News Group, a division of
