Reports confirm that the death toll from the devastating flash floods in Central Texas has risen to at least
110 people. As of Tuesday evening, 161 individuals are still reported missing, primarily in Kerr County. This includes 5 campers and 1 counselor from Camp Mystic, a girls' summer camp heavily affected by the flooding. Many of the confirmed fatalities are children. 
The flooding occurred in the early hours of July 4th, with the Guadalupe River in Kerr County surging over 26 feet in less than an hour. Rescue efforts are continuing but hope of finding survivors is diminishing as days pass since the last successful rescue. Officials have vowed to continue searching until every missing person is accounted for. This event marks the deadliest rainfall flash flood in the US in nearly 50 years.
