At least 81 people, including 28 children, have died and 41 remain missing after devastating flash floods hit central Texas, with Kerr County the worst affected. The Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in 45 minutes early Friday, swamping Camp Mystic, a girls’ summer camp. Among the dead is the camp’s longtime director. Rescue operations, hindered by debris and venomous snakes, have turned toward recovery as more storms loom. President Donald Trump has declared a federal emergency, and Governor Greg Abbott vowed relentless efforts to locate the missing. Pope Leo XIV also offered prayers for grieving families during a Sunday address in Rome. (PC: BBC)
