The death toll from the flooding in Texas continues to rise, and the tragic loss is being felt close to home. Eighty-nine people have died so far, including 27 counselors and campers at an all-girls summer camp that sits along the Guadalupe River. Some Minnesotans have also been caught in the tragic events.

Central Texas, with its rocky soil, steep terrain and susceptibility to heavy rain, has been prone to devastating floods over the decades.

Rescuers searched the Guadalupe River for survivors of the Texas flash floods that killed at least 95 people over the July Fourth holiday weekend, with an unknown number of people still missing. The basin area was crowded with families and campers preparing to enjoy the holiday when pounding rain brought about catastrophic flash floods just before dawn Friday.
