In pictures: Deadly flooding in Texas
Torrential rain has caused flash flooding in parts of central Texas, killing more than 20 people. In Kerr County, more than 20 girls are missing from Camp Mystic, a private Christian summer camp located along a river that rose more than 20 feet in less than two hours. It 'does not mean they are lost,' Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick cautioned, while Gov. Greg Abbott said that search and rescue operations will continue through the night. Throughout Kerr County, more than 230 people have been rescued or evacuated so far, many by helicopter, authorities said. Some areas saw a month's worth of rain in just a few hours overnight into Friday. Heavy rain is expected to continue Saturday.

Search for missing girls from summer camp after Texas floods kill at least 24
At least 24 people have been killed and many others are missing, including more than 20 girls from a summer camp, after a storm caused severe flooding in Texas. The destructive force of the flash floods after the Guadalupe River burst its banks just before dawn on Friday washed out homes and swept away vehicles in Texas Hill Country. There were hundreds of rescues around Kerr County, including at least 167 by helicopter, authorities said, after nearly a foot of rain fell. The total number of missing is not known, but the sheriff said between 23 and 25 of them were girls who had been attending Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the river. On social media, parents and families posted desperate pleas for information about loved ones caught in the flood zone. 'The camp was completely destroyed,' said Elinor Lester, 13, one of hundreds of campers at Camp Mystic. 'A helicopter landed and started taking people away. It was really scary.' She said a raging storm woke up her cabin around 1.30am on Friday (7.30am on Friday BST). When rescuers arrived, they tied a rope for the girls to hold as the children in her cabin walked across the bridge with floodwaters whipping around their knees. The flooding in the middle of the night on the July 4 US holiday caught many residents, campers and officials by surprise. Officials defended their preparations for severe weather and their response, but said they had not expected such an intense downpour that was, in effect, the equivalent of months' worth of rain for the area. One US National Weather Service forecast this week had called for only between three and six inches of rain, said Nim Kidd, the chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management. 'It did not predict the amount of rain that we saw,' he said. At a news conference late on Friday, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said 24 people had been confirmed killed. Authorities said 237 people had been rescued so far.

Nearly a dozen rescued from American River in Carmichael as many celebrated Fourth of July
Several rescued from American River in Carmichael on Fourth of July Several rescued from American River in Carmichael on Fourth of July Several rescued from American River in Carmichael on Fourth of July Many families celebrated the Fourth of July on local waterways, but nearly a dozen people got caught in strong currents on the American River in Carmichael Friday afternoon. This prompted a large response from police and fire, using two helicopters and multiple boats. "You don't realize how fast the water's going," said Jeffery Solis, a paddleboarder who was rescued from the river. "The current literally washes you underneath," said Megan Cornell, another paddleboarder who was rescued. Cornell and Solis were just two of the paddleboarders pulled from the waterway by park rangers and fire boats on the Fourth of July. "It looks calm on top, but underneath it's a different monster. All of a sudden you get caught on a tree and you need rescuing. You don't expect it, it's wild," Solis said. "You're trying to swim against the branches and the current just swoops you in and sucks you under," Cornell said. "It happened within a second," said Ray Villaovos, a rafter who was rescued. Villalovos was with a different group, floating in rafts tied together, when they hit an underwater snag and started to sink. "The other two boats got dragged underwater a couple of our friends got dragged underwater and got rescued," Villalovos said. He said they weren't expecting the current to be this strong. "It's scary how quick it happens," Villalovos said. The Lower American River is running faster than normal. Water releases out of Folsom Dam are now around 5,300 cfs, more than double what it was just three days ago. "It was very cold, very rapid, the water was going quick," Cornell said. "You just have to breathe and make sure you don't panic," Solis said. Solis admits he wasn't wearing a life jacket, a mistake he won't make again. "I'm definitely going to have a life jacket next time I come out here," Solis said.
