In Kerr County, which has been the most impacted, at least 43 people are dead and 27 children remain missing tonight after floodwaters swept through Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp for girls. The statewide death toll thus far stands at 51 people. The number of deaths blamed on the flooding in Texas has risen to 51 tonight.

Twenty-seven girls are still missing in Texas after a storm unleashed nearly a foot (0.3 meters) of rain on Friday and sent floodwaters gushing out of the Guadalupe River through the hilly region known for its century-old summer camps.
