Ten children remain missing from Camp Mystic, a Christian girl’s camp on the Guadalupe River, which rose more than eight metres in less than an hour on Thursday. Several towns have been devastated by the severe floods, with 850 people evacuated from the area.

Of the 91 confirmed dead so far, the vast majority were killed in Kerr County, and of those, 27 were either girls or counsellors staying at Camp Mystic for the summer break. A further 10 girls, and one counsellor, are still unaccounted for.
