Follow for live updates in the Texas flooding as the death toll rises to 120, as rescue operations start to shift to recovery phase

Camp Mystic, the summer haven torn apart by a deadly flood, has been a getaway for girls to make lifelong friends and find “ways to grow spiritually.”

Would you have guessed that during the dark predawn hours, a team of counsellors, some just a few years older than the children in their care, ran into rising floodwaters to rescue almost 400 youngsters from catastrophe?

Rescue workers on Saturday continued their frantic search for survivors of the deadly and historic floods unleashed when the Guadalupe River burst from its banks in Kerr County on Friday. At least 24 people have died, and more than 20 girls from a private Christian summer camp were still missing.
