Flash floods in central Texas have killed 51 people, including 15 children, with 27 more still missing, mostly from a Christian girls’ camp in Kerr County. The River Guadalupe rose over 26 feet in under an hour, sweeping through Camp Mystic as many campers slept. Governor Greg Abbott signed an expanded disaster declaration, while over 850 people have been rescued. Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha vowed to continue search efforts. The floods also affected Travis and Tom Green Counties. President Trump said federal help is being coordinated. Forecasters warn more rain may worsen conditions this weekend, hampering ongoing rescue missions. (PC: BBC)
