Central Texas Flooding Death Toll Rises to 24

News summary

Catastrophic flash flooding caused by torrential rains has devastated Central Texas, especially Kerr County, resulting in at least 24 confirmed deaths and dozens more missing, including up to 25 girls from a summer camp near the Guadalupe River. The Guadalupe River surged over 26 feet in less than an hour, overwhelming communities, destroying homes, and prompting disaster declarations and mass evacuations. Over 500 emergency personnel, including teams from across Texas and Houston-area agencies, have been deployed to conduct search and rescue operations amid impassable roads, downed power lines, and disrupted cellphone service. Federal support has been offered as state and local leaders coordinate a multi-agency response to the disaster. The National Weather Service continues to warn of life-threatening flooding and urges residents to seek higher ground and obey evacuation orders. Additional rainfall remains possible, increasing the risk of further flooding as emergency crews persist in rescue missions.
