Wimberley, Texas –(KXAN) Eight people from two different families remain missing in Wimberley, Texas following flooding Saturday night.
Julie Shields said she was on the phone with her sister, Laura McComb, when the cabin McComb and the others were in was swept away.
“We are floating in a house that is now floating down the river,” Laura told Shields on the phone. “Call mom and dad. I love you, and pray.”
Those were the last words Shields had with her sister.
The conversation ended when Laura thought she saw a light from a helicopter that was there to rescue them.
“And I just expected to go to Wimberley High School the next day and find her,” said Shields. “When she wasn’t there, I knew something was very, very wrong.”
