Father and Son Searching Kerr County for Missing Loved Ones
- Emergency response teams searched for survivors after catastrophic floods struck Camp Mystic, a 99-year-old Christian girls camp in Texas Hill Country on Friday.

- Camp Mystic housed around 750 campers, with officials reporting 27 girls remain missing and families confirming at least three child deaths in the aftermath.
- Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said many missing girls are under 12 and pledged to find “every single person” affected as Governor Abbott expanded disaster declarations to boost searches.
- Federal support will include deploying the Coast Guard to assist search efforts while weather forecasts warn central Texas may see up to 5 inches of rain and more flooding this weekend.
