78 dead and dozens missing as more rain looms

At least 78 people were confirmed in central Texas and 41 other people missing after the sudden floods on Friday.

Sixty -eight deaths occurred, including 28 children, in Kiir Province, where a camp for Christian girls was thwarted on the banks of the river. Ten girls and consultants from the Mystic camp are still missing.

Officials say the number of deaths is sure to rise. More storms are expected within the next 24-48 hours in the region, which can hinder the rescue teams that already face toxic snakes and they snore through clay and debris.

After three days of immersion, one of the largest search and rescue efforts in the last Texas history was turning towards a recovery process.

Among those who recovered in Kiir Province, 18 adults and 10 children were officially identified.

The governor of Texas Greg Abbott said on Sunday that the authorities “will stop at nothing” to ensure that everyone is missing.

Abbott said, a day after he was roaming in the area: “It was not shiny to see what these young children went through.”

The main focus of the search was Camp Mystic, a famous summer camp for girls who float on the banks of the Guadalpe River, which suffered from severe damage.

The disaster was revealed before dawn on Friday, when the river rose 26 feet (8 meters) in just 45 minutes while most of the camp was asleep.

Greg Froelick, the former SEAL SEAL in the navy and volunteer at The Resue Group 300 JUSTICE, helps in efforts to find survivors.

Speaking to the BBC, he said that he heard about finding victims of up to eight miles from where the Mestic camp stands once.

He said he saw “clothes and things from camps scattered everywhere, up and down.”

There is also an uncertainty about the number of other people who were grabbing the region for the fourth weekend of July – and their number has been passed in floods.

The destroyed homes are surrounded by trees and furniture falling on the meadows. The fences and benefit lines are dropped in some areas.

“I would like to express sincere condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones, especially their daughters who were in the summer camp, in the disaster caused by the flood of the Guadalpe River in Texas in the United States.”

“We pray for them.”
