    Maps show where devastating flash flooding hit Texas, including Camp Mystic

    -


    Devastating flash floods in Central Texas on Friday, July 4, have killed more than 110 people, including over two dozen at Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp for girls along the Guadalupe River. More than 160 people remain unaccounted for, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday, as rescue teams continue to search the region.

    Rivers rose rapidly early Friday morning as the region, known as Texas Hill Country, was saturated with rain. 

    Where were the Texas floods?

    The area hardest hit by the floods was Kerr County where the Guadalupe River rose to critical levels in multiple locations, according to National Weather Service data. Kerrville, the largest city in Kerr County, is roughly 100 miles west of Austin and 65 miles northwest of San Antonio.
