At least 24 people have died and up to 25 people from a girls' summer camp remain missing after flash floods in Texas Hill Country. Heavy rainfall triggered the floods, causing the Guadalupe River to rise 22 feet in two hours. A flash flood emergency was declared in Kerr County. Search teams have rescued 237 people, including 167 by helicopter. The search for the missing will continue through the night and into Saturday.
