At least 51 people are dead, including 15 children, after heavy rainfall led to flash flooding in Texas Hill Country during the early hours of Friday, July 4, 2025. The intense rain caused the Guadalupe River to rise 26 feet in just 45 minutes in central Texas. Rescue efforts are still underway for dozens of young girls who were swept away from Camp Mystic, a Christian sleepaway camp in Kerr County that had more than 750 girls staying there.
