Authorities say more than 20 girls are still unaccounted for at Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas, where the Guadalupe River rose more than 20 feet in less than two hours during torrential rains that triggered flash flooding in parts of the state.

Kerr County

Authorities are conducting search and rescue operations at Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas, after flash flooding caused by torrential rains led to the Guadalupe River rising over 20 feet in less than two hours. More than 20 girls remain unaccounted for as first responders from various agencies continue to comb the area for survivors.

The flooding caused extensive damage to the camp, including destroyed cabins and a gathering hall, with debris and cars displaced by the water. The affected area is remote, complicating rescue efforts, and officials have acknowledged that hopes of finding survivors diminish as time passes.

Search underway at Texas summer camp hit by flash flooding

this is the best vantage point we have given everything that's going on in this area. But what you see across the river there is the Camp Mystic campground. And here on the left, you'll see a number of cabins. And you can see a lot of debris as we stand here. And I'm not sure that you can make this out on the video images. But the water must have gotten very high, because even in some places, the rooftops look a little uneven to me from this vantage point. But you can see windows open where presumably children were trying to crawl out of those windows to get away from the floodwaters as it was all rising here. And then if we move our way down, this was the lower part from talking to a number of people over the last 24 hours who've been evacuated from this area. It was the younger children at the campground. And my understanding right now is that it was the younger children who were in these lower elevation cabins that closest to the water. And the water looks very calm now. But look at just how high the water levels have gotten at some point here. Because you can also see back in this larger building on the campground site in the distance there, Erica. That's obviously a big gathering hall. I can't tell if it's a dining hall or a place where large groups gather. But the wall on this side, completely blown out. It's hard to see on the other side, but there's a good amount of destruction. I just saw some video images from someone who was capturing some video here at the scene. And there was a number of cars stacked on top of each other on the other side of those buildings. So this is where it all unfolded early Friday morning. You can imagine here, it's very remote away from the city of Hunt, about six or seven miles down the road, a greater distance. So very, very dark here. Not a lot of light. One camp counselor told me that as the rainstorm was coming in, the lightning and the thunder that kids were waking up, were telling her that they were afraid of what was happening. And you can understand as the water is rushing downstream, clearly being pushed out of its banks up along that hill, going up into those cabins on that distance. And all those cabins line up against the hillside over there. So it's hard to imagine as the water is rushing this way, you know, how do you escape all of that, unless you can get to the back of the building and then kind of start making your way to higher ground on the backside of that hill. And for a seven, eight, nine-year-old at three o'clock in the morning, as thunder and lightning, you can imagine just how horrific all of that scene must have been unfolding. And we're seeing a number of people continuing the search efforts. If you look there, there's like a little dam here that kind of falls, falls about 10 feet or so down to the next level of the river. We're seeing and teams of people still going through the hillside there on the bank of the river, looking and that those are the search and rescue operations. As we've made our way here, Erica, about six or seven miles down the road from Hunt, this area is lined with first responders, all sorts of different agencies, combing through the area, trying to do whatever they can to, you know, as they've mentioned in the press conference, the longer this goes on, obviously, the hope for finding people still alive dwindles. But there are still a lot of missing people and those loved ones want to find out where they are.
