The death toll has risen to 24 after heavy rain pounded Kerr County, Texas, early Friday, leading to deadly and "catastrophic" flooding, the sheriff said.

Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp for girls ages 7 to 17, is located along the Guadalupe River in Hunt, Texas-a community now at the epicenter of a deadly flood emergency. At least six people have died in what Governor Greg Abbott called "devastating flooding" across the Hill Country and Concho Valley.

At the all-girls Camp Mystic, located in Hunt – about 17 miles from Kerrville – staff notified parents that all campers at Cypress Lake and Senior Hill are accounted for, adding that those whose daughters are "not accounted for" have been notified.
