Flash floods in central Texas have claimed 51 lives, including 15 children, with Kerr County being the hardest-hit area. A Christian youth camp along the Guadalupe River is at the center of the devastation, where 27 children remain missing after floodwaters rose rapidly overnight. Authorities are focusing on search and rescue operations, with around 850 people rescued so far.
Governor Greg Abbott has expanded the disaster declaration to support rescue efforts, and officials are committed to finding every victim. The National Weather Service has warned that more rainfall is expected over the weekend, which could worsen flooding in affected areas.
Among the victims are two young sisters, Blair and Brooke Harber, who died in the flood. Many families are still awaiting news about missing loved ones, including those who were holidaying in the area. Local residents have lost homes and belongings, with some survivors recounting harrowing experiences.
A special Mass will be held for the victims, and the search for missing individuals is ongoing
