Texas Floods Kill 52, Dozens Still Missing

News summary

Historic flash floods in central Texas have killed at least 52 people, including 15 children, with the majority of deaths occurring in Kerr County along the Guadalupe River. The floods struck before dawn as over 12 inches of rain caused the river to rise 26 feet in 45 minutes, sweeping away homes, vehicles, and the century-old Camp Mystic, where 27 campers remain missing. More than 850 people have been rescued, but authorities warn that the true number of victims may be higher due to holiday visitors. Meteorologists attribute the unprecedented rainfall and severity of the disaster to climate change. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared a state of disaster and called for a day of prayer. Emergency teams continue round-the-clock search and rescue operations while families await news of missing loved ones.
