At least 104 people, including 15 children, have been confirmed dead following flash floods in central Texas, authorities said on Sunday, as rescuers continued a frantic search for campers, vacationers, and residents still missing. Officials warned the death toll was likely to rise, with other counties in the region also affected by the flooding.

Travis County Public Information Officer Hector Nieto reported four deaths in the county and 13 people unaccounted for.

More than 850 people have been rescued, including some clinging to trees, after a sudden storm dumped up to 38 centimetres of rain around the Guadalupe River, roughly 137 kilometres northwest of San Antonio. Among the missing are 27 girls from Camp Mystic summer camp, with concerns that others remain unaccounted for.

President Donald Trump signed a major disaster declaration for Kerr County on Sunday, pledging to ensure first responders have the necessary resources. “These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing,” Trump posted on social media.
