The death toll from the deadly flash floods that swept across central Texas on Friday has risen to at least 107, with an unknown number of people still missing. Search and rescue efforts continued along mud-covered riverbanks, even as additional rain and thunderstorms threatened to complicate operations.
One of the hardest-hit sites was Camp Mystic, a century-old Christian girls' summer camp, which was inundated by floodwaters on July 4. At least 27 campers and staff members died, and several others remain missing. Officials indicated that hopes of finding more survivors are fading as the disaster enters its fourth day.
