Death toll from Texas floods reaches 43, many still missing
Some 43 people, including 15 children, have been confirmed dead following flash floods in central Texas, authorities said on Saturday, July 5, as rescuers continued a frantic search for campers, vacationers and residents who were still missing.
Officials said more than 850 people had been rescued, including some who were clinging to trees, after a sudden storm dumped up to 15 inches of rain in an area around the Guadalupe River, about 85 miles (137 km) northwest of San Antonio.
Among the missing were 27 girls from the Camp Mystic summer camp, Kerrville city manager Dalton Rice said at a press conference on Saturday evening, and there may be others beyond that.
