A flash flood in Texas has resulted in the deaths of at least 50 individuals and left many missing, particularly at Camp Mystic where over two dozen campers are unaccounted for. Search and rescue efforts utilizing helicopters, boats, and drones are ongoing, targeting survivors stranded on trees and isolated areas. The floodwaters surged rapidly, overwhelming the Guadalupe River after heavy rainfall. Rescue personnel are investigating a landscape littered with debris, and while the search continues, the number of missing individuals remains unclear, focusing significantly on the campers.
Search and rescue teams are working around the clock, deploying helicopters, boats, and drones to search for survivors, some stranded on trees and areas isolated by destroyed roads.
The deluge began when heavy rainfall sent water rushing down hillsides into creeks, which then overwhelmed the Guadalupe River.
At least 50 people have been killed so far, while 27 girls from one camp are still missing.
The powerful floodwaters rose 26 feet (8 metres) on the Guadalupe in just 45 minutes before dawn on Friday, sweeping away homes and vehicles.
