24 dead in Texas floods and more than 20 children missing from a girls summer camp

  • On July 4, 2025, devastating floods in Kerr County, Texas, resulted in at least 24 fatalities and caused more than 20 girls at Camp Mystic to be reported missing.
  • The flooding began early Friday morning after about a foot of rain fell, causing the Guadalupe River to rise 26 feet in 45 minutes and rapidly inundate local areas.
  • Authorities launched a massive rescue effort involving nine teams with 400-500 personnel and 14 helicopters to evacuate campers and residents, while urging sheltering in place.
  • Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said, "They aren't necessarily lost," while families posted on social media seeking missing loved ones including the Brake, Knetsch, and Moeller families.
  • The flooding's severity and ongoing risks prompted officials to warn residents near rivers to move to higher ground, with expectations of more fatalities amid continued rescue operations.
