Search for survivors continues after Texas floods



A total of 82 people are confirmed dead, including 28 children

Authorities in central Texas are looking for dozens of people still missing after Friday's devastating pre-dawn floods caused the banks of Kerr County's Guadalupe River to collapse. A total of 82 people are confirmed dead, including 28 children. Houses and cars were swept away and fast-moving waters engulfed a Christian summer camp where 750 people were staying.

The wait for news has been "agonizing" for Camp Mystic's "tight-knit community of parents and alumni," The New York Times said. Many of the campers have emerged with "harrowing but piecemeal stories of the torrential rains." Some spoke of being woken in the night and having to "wade through rushing water" to higher ground. Authorities Monday morning said 10 campers and a counselor were still missing.
