Texas flooding death toll rises to 24 as Christian summer camp kids remain missing: officials

The death toll from the devastating Texas floods has risen to 24, officials revealed Friday night — as about two dozen girls from a Christian summer camp remain missing.

Texas officials said between 23 to 25 kids from Camp Mystic remain unaccounted for as the Guadalupe River swelled above its banks during a freak early morning rainstorm.

Twenty-four fatalities have been confirmed from the disaster, though it’s unclear if any of the victims were related to the camp.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a disaster declaration for a slew of counties in and around San Antonio, promising to make every necessary resource available to those affected by the flood.

“We will stop at nothing to ensure that every asset and person and plan, whatever is needed, is going to be involved in the process of rescuing every last person,” Abbott said.
