After a lot of people got furious about a tweet about the terrible Texas floods that k!lled more than 100 people, a doctor lost her job.
The Central Texas floods, which officials called a “100-year disaster,” hit on July 5, 2025, and were quite fast, according to the BBC.
In other places, the Guadalupe River overflowed its banks after months of rain in a short amount of time, getting more than 21 inches of rain in just a few days.
The horrific occurrence hit Camp Mystic, a Christian camp for girls, the hardest in the summer. The flood tore through the stone buildings where staff and kids were sleeping, killing more than 27 individuals at the camp alone.
The number of de@ths in the state rose to 111, including 30 kids.
The floods were one of the worst natural disasters that have ever happened in Texas.
The extreme weather and rocky terrain in Kerr County, along with the rain that fell overnight, made for a perfect storm that frightened many people.
The Texas Hill Country, which is sometimes called “Flash Flood Alley” because it is prone to floods, saw more rain than it had ever seen before, which broke down the infrastructure and warning systems that were already in place.
Scientists at the Climate Institute have said that the hurricane’s problems were probably made worse by the Gulf of Mexico’s rising waters.
But a Houston pediatrician got into a lot of trouble after she posted about the flooding on social media.
After Blue Fish Pediatrics made a contentious post to Facebook, Dr. Christina Propst, who worked there, was fired right away.
The blog post that was taken down later had bad language directed at flood victims in Kerr County.
Under the username ‘Chris Tina,’ Propst made an appeal for security to ‘visitors, children, pets, and non-MAGA voters and dogs’, while maintaining the local Trump supporters were not destined to suffer because of their political views, as per MSN.
The message talked about climate change denial and the rumored cuts to FEMA funding. The message closed with the following line: May they get what they’ve voted for. Thank God for your hearts.
Blue Fish Pediatrics said that Propst died on June 6, 2025, a Sunday. This was the day before the news gained significant attention.

A medical center made a bold statement to distance itself from the comments.
The clinic indicated that the comments in that post were quite bad.
Blue Fish Pediatrics does not agree with the ideas, attitudes, or aims that are shown in that blog post. We do not support or agree with any position that makes the tragedy political, hurts people, or does not show the sympathy of every child and their family.
Dr. Sherif Zaafran, the head of the Texas Medical Board, said that politics was not a smart idea during a crisis.
There is no space to make it political. We need to focus on finding folks who are still alive. He posted to social networks, adding that any complaints will be carefully looked into.
The tweet caused immediate and strong protests from the public.
People in the area sent angry remarks to local news stations. A lot of people wondered how people with these attitudes should be treating kids and families.
People on social media have termed the comments “horrifying” and “dangerous,” and some have even asked for a probe into the doctor’s competence to do medical work.
On July 8, 2025, Prost gave a long apology to the public once the decision was decided. She said that she wrote her statement before the full extent of the tragedy was known.
She made it clear that her comment was not about the de@th of a loved one and that she was very sorry for the pain she caused by the de@th.
She wrote, “I talk to you as a mother, a neighbor, a pediatrician, and a person who is very sorry.”
I fully own up to a comment I made on social media before we realized how many lives were lost in the horrible tragedy in Central Texas.
Propst went on to explain that she was unhappy because she thought there wasn’t enough infrastructure for disasters or early warning systems, even though she admitted that she had used the term “fear.”
The search for missing people goes on, with much of the work being done at Camp Mystic, where many teenage females are still missing.
