    At least 13 people have been killed and scores more are feared
    missing after historic floods inundated a Texas county.

    Twenty three people are missing from Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas,
    after the Guadalupe River flooded and surged by up to 30 feet
    above its usual water level Friday.

    The names of those killed have not been shared, but the final
    death toll is expected to rise substantially as floodwaters
    recede.

    . . .

    Other reports say that at least one large bunkhouse
    with over 20 kids inside was washed down river.

    Followup :

    24 confirmed dead in Texas flooding; two dozen girls missing from camp

    24 confirmed dead in Kerr County, Texas

    As many as 25 campers still missing

    Torrential rains caused the flash flooding

    . . .

    Ultra-nasty.

    They'd have found any survivors from the bunkhouse
    swept downstream by now.

    There was a sudden deluge - like ten inches - that
    happened just upstream, causing a huge flash flood.
    No time for warnings.

    The summer camp area was mostly for girls 12 and under.
