College Station Today

Charles Schwertner, a public figure known for his active presence on social media, recently shared his thoughts and concerns on various issues through a series of tweets. His posts reflect both a commemoration of historical events and an appeal for support in the face of natural disasters.

On July 4, 2025, Schwertner commemorated the anniversary of American independence by highlighting the actions of the Founding Fathers. He stated, "249 years ago, our Founding Fathers stood up to tyranny & declared independence from England. Their bravery & vision, rooted in liberty, self-government, & God-given rights, laid the foundation for the greatest nation in the world." He concluded with well-wishes for Independence Day and blessings for the United States.

The following day, on July 5, 2025, Schwertner addressed a more somber topic: flooding in Hill Country. He urged prayers for those affected by the disaster and expressed concern for first responders working under challenging conditions. In his words: "Please continue to pray for those who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods in the devastating Hill Country flooding."

Later that same day, Schwertner provided specific updates on evacuations and rescue operations due to the flooding. He reported that “Areas in western Williamson County and along the South Fork of the San Gabriel River east of Georgetown have been evacuated, particularly mobile home parks." Swift water rescue teams were noted to have rescued up to 25 people from their homes.

Hill Country is a region in Texas known for its scenic beauty but also prone to severe weather events such as flooding.
