At least 24 people had died as of Friday evening, according to officials. Their ages and identities are unknown at this time.
The National Weather Service called the flooding a “life-threatening” situation. Power, water and wifi were knocked out in the area. At least one death was confirmed at Louise Hays Park in Kerrville.
With Gov. Greg Abbott out of state, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick was the acting governor for the disaster. He said that the flooding began at 4 a.m. when about a foot of rain fell and caused the Guadalupe River to quickly rise. He said the river rose 26 feet in about 45 minutes on Friday morning.
There are overnight camps for kids and families along the Guadalupe River. Some kids who were at Camp Mystic, which hosts more than 750 girls, were still unaccounted for as of Friday afternoon. The families of those children had been notified. Patrick said there were about 20 kids who were still unaccounted for during a news conference around 4 p.m.
