The death toll from flooding in south-central Texas has risen to 51, including 15 children.
Flash floods in Texas have killed at least 51 people, with 27 children missing from a riverside summer camp.
This was reported by the Associated Press.
At least 43 people, including 15 children, were killed in Kerr County by the storm, while at least eight people died in neighboring counties.
The dead included 28 adults and 15 children, Kerr County Sheriff Leith said. The sheriff added that five children and 12 adults have not yet been identified.
Local authorities have not yet said how many people are missing, other than 27 children from the Mystic Christian summer camp along the river in Kerr County.
Local authorities also confirmed eight more deaths in neighboring Travis (Austin), Burnet and Kendall counties.
The Guadalupe River rose 26 feet (8 meters) just 45 minutes before dawn Friday, washing away homes and vehicles. The dangers were not over as rain continued to fall in communities outside San Antonio on Saturday, and flash flood warnings and watches remained in effect.
Recall that on July 4, heavy rains caused deadly flooding along the Guadalupe River in Texas, leaving at least 13 people dead and more than two dozen girls missing from a summer camp on the river. The disaster moved so quickly that it was impossible to predict even with the help of radar.
On July 5, more than 40 deaths were reported.
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said about 20 children were missing from Camp Mystic, a private Christian summer camp for girls located on the banks of a river. The camp was home to an estimated 750 children on a summer vacation.
The parents of two missing girls from Camp Mystic told CNN they have no idea where their children are. They are just 9 years old.
The National Weather Service said the river where the camp is located rose 20 feet in just 90 minutes, the second-highest level ever recorded for the Guadalupe River.
People are being urged to stay in safe places due to still adverse weather conditions in the region.
