At least 82 people are dead and at least 41 more are missing after devastating flash floods slammed Texas Hill Country, with water rescues taking place along the Guadalupe River, which rose rapidly early Friday morning to the height of a two-story building. Almost a dozen are still missing from Camp Mystic in Kerr County, a children's summer camp, officials said Sunday.
(Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp, confirmed that at least 27 campers and counselors had died, calling the floods an “unimaginable tragedy.”)
Of the fatalities so far, 68 have occurred in Kerr County, its sheriff, Larry Leitha, said at a news conference Sunday afternoon — an increase from 43 deaths reported the previous night. The dead include 40 adults and 28 children, with 18 of the adults and 10 of the children unidentified.
At least 10 Camp Mystic campers are missing, along with one counselor, Leitha told reporters. This is the first solid number officials have provided regarding campers who remain unaccounted for, after estimating Saturday that it could be as high as 27. There were about 750 children at Camp Mystic when the floods hit, the sheriff said earlier.

Please don’t be like this… this is beyond stupid:

A pediatrician has been fired over a vile post suggesting that the more than 80 killed in the horrific Texas floods — including dozens of kids — were President Trump supporters who got “what they voted for.”
Dr. Christina B. Propst drew widespread scorn following the disparaging, since-deleted post under her old Facebook username, Chris Tina, according to Mediaite.
“May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” Probst wrote in the now-viral post.
Reports are coming out that Bandera, San Angelo and many low river bank areas were reporting on THURSDAY morning. Flash flood warnings.
Mo Ranch next door evacuated 80 before the floods hit.
Republicans said NO to an alarm system that Warns all those close to the river to escape to higher ground. Why? too expensive.
The same thing happens here in Brownsville: your comadre from Houston calls you about a storm. Then your compadre in San Antonio verifies the information. Then your friend from Harlingen tells you the storm is terrible. But Brownsville doesn't get rain.
Pediatrician Dr. Christina B. Propst got what she deserved for being ignorant and full of hate. Hopefully this sick individual will not be able to secure future employment in the medical field. Who in their right mind would want to take they’re child to this mentally ill person? Too much hate being fueled by Democratic politicians. How did the left become so evil? Is this the future? Sad for the younger generation.
