'Devastating scenes'
Devon Paige wrote, "Camp Mystic on a bus to the reunification center. The girls are singing to try and calm everyone. This is footage from the evacuation and everything they saw. I wish you could see before shots to show how truly devastating it is."
850 people were rescued in the first 36 hours
Over 850 people were rescued in the first 36 hours after the flooding started. A sudden storm had dropped more than a foot of rain, which caused the Guadalupe River to overflow and rip through the camp's historic buildings. Many campers and staff were swept away or trapped inside their bunks.
So far, 38 adults and 21 children have been confirmed dead. Eighteen of the adult victims and four of the children have not yet been identified. Among those who died were five girls from Camp Mystic, ages 8 and 9, as well as the camp's owner, according to New York Post report.
400 emergency workers searching for 11 girls
According to Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha, 400 emergency workers from 20 different local, state, and national agencies are still searching for 11 girls and one counselor who are missing from the camp. He gave the update at a press conference on Sunday.

Study reveals why men need to lower their standards on dating apps
Image credits: Getty Images History can attest to the theory that women have always been accused of having higher standards when it comes to their dating life. In modern times, it has been considered that 80% women are pursuing 20% men. However, if a new study is to go by, the tables have always been turned. In a study published in the PLOS One journal, international researchers analysed the behaviour of almost 3,000 heterosexual users of a Czech dating app. They found that men expressed interest in women who were more desirable than themselves, while women usually pursued men of a similar level of desirability. Here, the desirability was measured through the number of swipes a user received from people on the app. The app had more male users, meaning that female users "generally ranked more highly in this hierarchy." And despite having the clear upper hand, women sometimes "chose slightly less desirable partners on average." But, as is the law of romance, successful matches only happened among people with similar levels of desirability. Analysing all these factors, the team suggested that men must lower their standards on dating apps if they are serious about finding a romantic partner. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo 'Our research on a Czech online dating app shows that while men often aim high when choosing whom to contact, successful matches tend to happen between people with similar levels of desirability. This pattern is largely the result of rejection, rather than an initial preference for similarity,' wrote the researchers. Netizens debate the study's findings Image credits: Getty Images Whatever the research may suggest, netizens still abide by the perspective that the alternative needs to be done. Some netizens called out how the research was based in the Czech Republic, and while there may be some overlaps, there is no equivalence. "Guys, keep in mind Czechia isn't Western Europe or America. There is no equivalence here, despite some potential overlaps. I say this as an American who has lived in Northeastern Europe for almost 10 years and who has extensively traveled most of the countries in the region, including Czechia. " One even shared how they had tried lowering their standards on dating apps and received a shocking result. "I did and got banned from each one" Of course, there were the ones asking women to lower their standards. "Men don't need to lower their standards because most of them don't get matches in the first place. It's women that need to lower their standards for men," and "Lol, no... It's the women that are the problem." "The Tea app dox presents quite a different picture" pointed one out, referring to the new app that lets women safely talk about men and whose data, including images, got hacked and leaked online.
