Texas Flash Floods Kill 79, Threaten Multiple Counties Amid Rescue Efforts

News summary

Catastrophic flash flooding in Texas has caused over 70 deaths, with Kerr County and surrounding areas severely impacted by rising waters along the Guadalupe River, including the devastating effects on Camp Mystic where at least 27 campers died. Rescue and recovery efforts continue amid warnings of additional heavy rainfall that could exacerbate the disaster. Governor Greg Abbott and emergency officials have mobilized over 1,000 responders and declared disaster zones across 21 counties, while local organizations and relief groups have launched campaigns to support victims and animals affected by the floods. The National Weather Service has faced scrutiny over its forecasting and preparedness, with some local officials questioning whether adequate warnings and evacuations were issued despite issued flash flood watches and alerts. Floodwaters have damaged infrastructure, and thousands have been rescued, but search operations intensify as dozens remain missing, particularly young campers. Authorities urge residents affected by the floods to seek assistance through the Red Cross and other local aid organizations.
