Three young girls — Emily Rivera, Zoey Nash, and Hope Lin — were found alive nearly ten days after going missing during devastating floods near Camp Wrenwood, Texas. A volunteer hiker discovered them sheltering in the hollow of an old oak tree just a mile from the camp.The girls, aged 8 to 10, survived by using skills from a recent wilderness safety drill. They collected rainwater, stayed dry with wet towels, and kept warm behind a bark-and-shoelace door.
Their key survival strategy: “Stay dry. Stay together. Stay quiet.”Though dehydrated and exhausted, they’re expected to fully recover. Their incredible resilience sparked a nationwide outpouring of relief and admiration, with the hashtag #HollowTreeHeroes trending in celebration.watch below
