More than 100 people have been confirmed dead, including 87 in Kerr County, after devastating flooding on July 4 in central Texas.
Officials stated it's unclear how many people remain missing after the Guadalupe River rose more than 26 feet in less than an hour.
Camp Mystic reported losing at least 27 campers and counselors, with five campers and one counselor still unaccounted for.
Recovery efforts are hampered by extremely difficult terrain, with emergency responders dealing with large piles of debris that obstruct their operations.
