In a moment being hailed as one of the most extraordinary survival stories in U.S. history, three of the 27 girls missing after the Texas
flood disaster were found alive Sunday afternoon — inside the hollow trunk of a massive oak tree, one mile from the devastated Camp Wrenwood.
Rescuers say the girls had taken shelter inside the ancient tree for nearly 10 days, surviving with only rainwater and their own instincts.
Medical officials call it a miracle of endurance, faith, and sisterhood.
