Caption: Devastating Texas Floods Kill 78, Dozens Still Missing. At least 78 people have died and 41 remain missing after catastrophic flash floods swept through central Texas on Friday. The worst-hit area is Kerr County, where 68 deaths were reported—including 28 children—after a riverside Christian girls' camp, Camp Mystic, was overwhelmed by floodwaters. Ten campers and a counselor are still unaccounted for. Governor Greg Abbott called the scene "horrific" and vowed to "stop at nothing" to find the missing. Rescue crews are battling treacherous conditions, including venomous snakes, and are bracing for more storms over the next 48 hours. The floods came suddenly, with the Guadalupe River rising 26 feet in just 45 minutes—catching most victims while they slept. Three days on, the massive search-and-rescue effort is shifting toward recovery, with many victims still unidentified. Officials warn the death toll could rise as Fourth of July campers are still unaccounted for. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
