"I'm so devastated": Steve Sarkisian's wife, Loreal Sarkisian, pens heartfelt message after Texas gets hit with the worst flood in recent years

Steve Sarkisian's wife, Loreal Sarkisian, has shown her concern for the current situation in Central Texas. The area is currently grappling with catastrophic flash flooding, described as a "once-in-a-lifetime" disaster. This catastrophe has resulted in the loss of at least 50 lives, including 15 children, according to reports.

The flooding severely impacted the Texas Hill Country and its downstream areas. The Guadalupe River experienced a rapid and dramatic rise in its water levels after 5 to 11 inches of rain fell within hours.

Loreal penned a heartfelt message directly addressing the Central Texas flooding on her Instagram story on Saturday. She shared an Austin Monthly post on how local organizations are giving back to the relief effort for those affected, while captioning it with her feelings.

“We’ve been dealing with SO much in America lately that has been hard to stomach so when I learned of this news it brought instant tears,” Sarkisian wrote. “My heart hurts! I'm so devastated. We need you real bad Lord! Prayer to all those affected."
