Two pals among nearly 2 dozen confirmed missing from Texas Christian camp after devastating flooding

The names of some of the nearly two dozen girls missing after floodwaters killed at least 13 people and swept away a Christian girls’ summer camp in Texas are beginning to emerge as desperate families await news from search and rescue crews.

About 23 girls are missing after torrential rains flooded the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, washing away cabins and buildings at Camp Mystic Thursday night into Friday.

Most people were evacuated from the Christian girls’ camp — attended by girls between the ages of 7 and 17 — as floodwaters rose, but some kids were left behind and believed to be lost in the rushing water.

The Guadalupe River — on which Camp Mystic is perched in the San Antonio suburb of Hunt — rose more than 20 feet in just 90 minutes, the National Weather Service reported, a level of flooding the area hasn’t seen since 1987 and forced evacuations throughout the region.

At least 13 people have been killed in Kerr County as of Friday, though it remains unclear if any were the missing girls.

After Camp Mystic advised parents that if they haven’t been directly contacted to assume their daughters are accounted for and safe, officials cautioned parents not to assume the worst.

“That does not mean they’ve been lost. They could be in a tree. They could be out of communication,” Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said at a press conference. “We’re praying for all those missing to be found alive.”
