Death Toll Hits 82, Dozens Missing as Texas Braces for More Rain

CNN|US: At least 82 people have died and dozens are still missing after devastating floods hit central Texas. In Kerr County, the hardest-hit area, at least 40 adults and 28 children have been killed, officials say.

Rescuers are still searching for at least 41 missing people, according to state and local officials. Among them are 10 girls and one counselor from Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp along the Guadalupe River that rose more than 20 feet in less than two hours during the peak of the flooding early on the Fourth of July.

New rain has already started to swell waterways in Kerr County, the sheriff warns. Gov. Greg Abbott said flash flooding continues to pose a danger for several parts of Texas as “more heavy rainfall” is expected.
