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 \u2014 inside the hollow trunk of a massive oak tree, one mile from the devastated Camp Wrenwood.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

\nWithin minutes, emergency crews uncovered three young girls, aged 8\u201310, curled together inside a partially hollowed trunk, wrapped in wet towels and using a broken shoelace to secure the tree\u2019s bark as a door flap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
