The flooding Saturday comes on the heels of catastrophic conditions Friday morning in Central Texas, primarily in the Kerrville area. More than 40 people have died in flood waters resulting from heavy rain in Kerr County, while search-and-rescue operations are ongoing. A group of more than 20 girls with Camp Mystic in Kerrville remain missing.

A Texas sheriff says the deaths from flash flooding in central Texas has risen to 27 people, including nine children.

Rescuers scoured flooded riverbanks littered with mangled trees Saturday and turned over rocks in the search for more than two dozen children from a girls' camp and many others missing after a wall of water blasted down a river in the Texas Hill Country.
