Texas Floods Kill 13, Many at Camps Missing

Catastrophic flash flooding along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, Texas, has killed at least 13 people, including both children and adults, and left over 20 girls from Camp Mystic missing after unprecedented overnight rainfall. The river rose rapidly, making evacuation impossible and prompting a flash flood emergency from the US National Weather Service. Authorities report that most of the 700 campers at Camp Mystic are safe, but search and rescue operations continue for the missing, involving helicopters, drones, and hundreds of emergency personnel. The disaster has also severely impacted residential neighborhoods, RV parks, and multiple summer camps. Families are using social media for updates, while officials and the community are urging continued prayers and support. Additional rainfall is expected, which could further complicate rescue and recovery efforts.
