Texas Floods Kill 27, Dozens Still Missing

Catastrophic flash flooding in Central Texas has killed at least 27 people, including nine children, with dozens still missing as search and rescue operations continue. The disaster has particularly devastated Camp Mystic, a Christian girls' summer camp that was completely destroyed, while Travis County has reported at least three deaths and 10 missing persons. Torrential rains caused the Guadalupe River to rise 26 feet in just 45 minutes, overwhelming emergency services and destroying homes and vehicles. One 22-year-old woman survived being swept nearly 20 miles by floodwaters before being rescued in Center Point, but her family's fate remains unknown. The ongoing crisis has highlighted concerns about the adequacy of warnings and preparations for camps and vulnerable residents. Flash flood warnings remain in effect as authorities urge vigilance and continue to provide support and relief efforts.
