Texas Flash Floods Leave 24 Dead, 20+ Children Still Missing: What We Know So Far

As Texas recovers from a deadly natural disaster, emergency officials have confirmed that at least 24 people have diedand more than 20 children remain missing following severe flash floods that struck Kerr County during Independence Day celebrations.

The flooding began late on July 4, just outside the town of Kerrville, where rising waters from the Guadalupe River surged through homes, roads, and campsites, sweeping away cars, mobile homes, and cabins.

Search and Rescue Efforts ContinueBy the evening of July 5, the Kerrville Police Department announced that rescue efforts would continue “until we find all our citizens.” In a statement shared on social media, they emphasized the scale of the emergency:

“Hundreds of first responders are here with resources from throughout the state to help us. Our thoughts remain with those who are unaccounted for and their loved ones. They are our focus and will remain so.”

So far, over 230 people have been rescued or evacuated, according to CBS News.

Summer Camp Hit Hard
Among those still missing are up to 25 children who were attending Camp Mystic, a popular summer camp for girls located near the flood zone. The camp had approximately 750 attendees, many of whom were celebrating the July 4 holiday when the floods hit.

The Cause of the Floods
Weather experts say the region experienced an entire month’s worth of rain in just a few hours, causing the Guadalupe River to rise to a hazardous 26 feet. The sudden surge overwhelmed roads and structures, leading to widespread damage and chaos.

State of Emergency Declared
Local authorities have issued a state of emergency in multiple counties. Emergency shelters have been set up, and residents are being urged to avoid flooded areas and stay off affected roads as more rain could worsen conditions.

What’s Next
Authorities say the next 24 to 48 hours are critical. Search teams are using helicopters, boats, and tracking dogs to find survivors. Volunteers and nearby towns have stepped in to offer food, clothing, and shelter to those displaced.

How You Can Help
Emergency response teams are asking for donations of bottled water, blankets, and non-perishable food. Many local aid organizations have also opened funds to support families who have lost homes or loved ones.
