Dennis Quaid recently shared a personal account of fear and uncertainty during the devastating Texas floods that claimed over 100 lives. In a July 2025 interview, the Texas-born actor revealed the emotional toll he faced when he couldn’t reach his 17-year-old daughter, Zoe Quaid, who was working as a counselor at Camp Longhorn, north of Kerrville, when the floods struck.

Though Zoe and many others at the camp were safe, the surrounding chaos was harrowing. Tragically, a camper lost her entire family after floodwaters swept away their RV near the Guadalupe River. Dennis, deeply affected, called for empathy and support, urging donations to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.

The disaster hit even closer as Dennis and his wife, Laura Savoie, are close friends of Clark and Tavia Hunt, whose family suffered a heartbreaking loss of a young relative, 9-year-old Janie Hunt, to the floods near Camp Mystic. Tavia Hunt shared a moving message about faith, grief, and healing in the aftermath.

Camp Longhorn expressed sorrow for the tragedy and reassured families that the camp remained safe. Meanwhile, Zoe posted joyful photos, reminding us of moments of light amid sorrow.

Dennis Quaid’s story highlights the far-reaching impact of natural disasters—touching lives deeply beyond the immediate destruction.
