At least 24 people have died and over 20 campers remain missing after devastating flash floods swept through Kerr County, Texas, on July 4. Triggered by nearly a foot of rainfall in under 24 hours, the Guadalupe River surged 26 feet above normal, inundating homes and summer camps. Camp Mystic, hosting dozens of young girls, was among the hardest hit, with many feared stranded in remote areas. Emergency crews have rescued over 230 people, many by helicopter. Search and rescue operations continue amid widespread damage. Authorities urge caution as flooding risks persist.
