According to the report, months' worth of heavy rain fell in a matter of hours on the Texas Hill Country, leaving at least 13 people dead and many more unaccounted for Friday, including about 20 girls attending a summer camp, as search teams conducted boat and helicopter rescues in fast-moving floodwaters. According to Associated Press, desperate pleas peppered social media as loved ones sought any information about people caught in the flood zone. At least 10 inches of rain poured down overnight in central Kerr County, causing flash flooding of the Guadalupe River. Authorities stressed that the situation was still developing and that the death toll could change, with rescue operations ongoing for an unspecified number of missing. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said six to 10 bodies had been found so far. Around the same time, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha reported that 13 people had died in the flooding. Authorities were still working to identify the dead.

This os so sad, will they be able to find these missing people on time, or is it already too late as it is now

Yes, it's so sad. I can imagine the sorrows of the parents of the missing children. They should have not attended the camping. I pity the kids, May God give them the chance to survive.

Wow. Months of heavy rainfall. I cannot imagine. It is disheartening to hear that 13 people have died and others are still missing. I hope they are found soon.

This was the first day of the flood, but as of yesterday, there were 110 casualties of the flood. The flood is still rampaging as of this time.
