As Texas recovers from a deadly natural disaster, emergency officials have confirmed that\u00a0at least 24 people have died<\/strong>and\u00a0more than 20 children remain missing<\/strong>\u00a0following severe flash floods that struck Kerr County during Independence Day celebrations.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The flooding began late on\u00a0July 4<\/strong>, just outside the town of\u00a0Kerrville<\/strong>, where rising waters from the Guadalupe River surged through homes, roads, and campsites, sweeping away cars, mobile homes, and cabins.<\/p>\n

Search and Rescue Efforts Continue<\/h3>\n

By the evening of\u00a0July 5<\/strong>, the\u00a0Kerrville Police Department<\/strong>\u00a0announced that\u00a0rescue efforts would continue \u201cuntil we find all our citizens.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0In a statement shared on social media, they emphasized the scale of the emergency:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHundreds of first responders are here with resources from throughout the state to help us. Our thoughts remain with those who are unaccounted for and their loved ones. They are our focus and will remain so.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So far,\u00a0over 230 people have been rescued or evacuated<\/strong>, according to\u00a0CBS News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Summer Camp Hit Hard<\/h3>\n

Among those still missing are\u00a0up to 25 children<\/strong>\u00a0who were attending\u00a0Camp Mystic<\/strong>, a popular summer camp for girls located near the flood zone. The camp had approximately\u00a0750 attendees<\/strong>, many of whom were celebrating the July 4 holiday when the floods hit.<\/p>\n

The Cause of the Floods<\/h3>\n

Weather experts say the region experienced\u00a0an entire month\u2019s worth of rain in just a few hours<\/strong>, causing the\u00a0Guadalupe River to rise to a hazardous 26 feet<\/strong>. The sudden surge overwhelmed roads and structures, leading to widespread damage and chaos.<\/p>\n

State of Emergency Declared<\/h3>\n

Local authorities have issued a\u00a0state of emergency<\/strong>\u00a0in multiple counties. Emergency shelters have been set up, and residents are being urged to avoid flooded areas and stay off affected roads as more rain could worsen conditions.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next<\/h3>\n

Authorities say the next 24 to 48 hours are critical. Search teams are using helicopters, boats, and tracking dogs to find survivors. Volunteers and nearby towns have stepped in to offer food, clothing, and shelter to those displaced.<\/p>\n

How You Can Help<\/h3>\n

Emergency response teams are asking for\u00a0donations of bottled water, blankets, and non-perishable food<\/strong>. Many local aid organizations have also opened\u00a0funds to support families<\/strong>\u00a0who have lost homes or loved ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
