Devastating floods in central Texas have claimed the lives of at least 51 people, including 15 children, following days of relentless rain that caused the Guadalupe River to overflow dramatically.

Among the worst-hit locations is Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ summer camp near the river, where 27 campers remain missing as rescue teams race against time.

The flooding began early Friday when torrential downpours triggered a rapid rise in the river’s level—soaring more than 20 feet in under two hours.

The unprecedented surge caught many off guard, submerging roads, homes, and entire campgrounds.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott, during a press briefing, described the situation as “horrendously ravaged in ways unlike I’ve seen in any natural disaster.”

He announced the deployment of round-the-clock emergency response units, including helicopters, boats, and specialized search crews.

So far, over 850 residents in Kerr County have been rescued, thanks to coordinated efforts involving first responders, military units, and volunteers from more than six states.

U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a federal disaster declaration to accelerate the release of aid and resources to the affected areas, allowing emergency relief and recovery operations to scale up immediately.

Rescue and recovery missions continue, with hopes dwindling but not lost for those still unaccounted for.
