At least 51 people have died and 27 young girls remain missing after catastrophic flooding swept through large parts of Texas. The disaster has triggered a massive rescue operation, especially around Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp in Kerr County, where most of the fatalities were discovered.

Torrential rains caused rivers to overflow, inundating residential areas and campsites. Camp Mystic, located along the Guadalupe River, was among the worst-hit locations. Authorities said that although dozens have been rescued, several children remain unaccounted for as search teams continue navigating the flood-ravaged terrain.

Emergency services, supported by volunteers and federal aid, are working around the clock to locate survivors. Families of the missing girls are anxiously awaiting updates as conditions remain dangerous due to continuing water levels and debris.

Texas Governor and FEMA have both issued statements promising full support for recovery efforts. However, officials have not confirmed the total number of people still missing beyond the 27 girls.

This flood disaster is being called one of Texas’ deadliest in recent history, raising serious concerns about climate resilience and preparedness at recreational camps.
