At least 59 people have died after heavy rainfall caused flash flooding in parts of central Texas on Friday, authorities have said.

As the floodwaters recede from Camp Mystic, a torrent of grief remains for the families of the children who died and those who went missing when flash floods tore through central Texas earlier this week.

At least 27 girls are still missing after the Texas floods hit Camp Mystic. Nearly one foot of torrential rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly, leading to flash floods. The camp suffered major damage. Many cabins were destroyed, and search and rescue operations are still ongoing.
