Liputan6.com, Washington, County of Colombia – Texas Hill Country suffered from a terrible sudden flood, which died at least 81 lives, and, as reported, 41 people were still missing. This area was paralyzed after the Guadalup river quickly overflowed on Friday morning, reaching the height of the equivalent of a bilateral building. The reserve operation continues to carry out along the river, which turns into a malignant current.
In the Mastik camp, Kerr District-Fire Camp for children-Help, dozens of people were not found, including 10 children who participated in the camp, and a consultant quoted from the page CBS NewsMonday (7/7/2025).
In total, at least 68 victims were registered in the Kerr district, according to Sheriff Larry Leita at a press conference on Sunday afternoon. The number sharply jumped out of the previous report, which mentioned 43 victims. Of the dead 40 people were adults and 28 children. As many as 28 of them were still unidentified.
“There are about 750 children in the mystic camp when the flood comes,” said Leita.
President Donald Trump signed a major emergency declaration in the Kerr district on Sunday morning after the request of the Governor of Texas Greg Ebbotta. The day before, Ebbott visited the destroyed camp and described it as a sight that he had never seen before.
“Today I visited the mystical camp. The camp and the river next to him were really destroyed as I had never seen in any style, ”wrote Ebbott on social networks. “Water rises until it reaches the top of the cab. We will not stop until we find every girl who is there. ”
Governor Ebbott also said that the search and rescue operation would be carried out endlessly to find anyone who affected this disaster. In addition to death, about 41 people in various regions of Texas are still not registered.
“Especially in Kerrville, many people are a camp near the river, live in R.V. Or just looked, ”said Ebbott.
“There are people who were not identified, were not confirmed by lost, because we do not know who they are.”
He also urged the public to immediately contact the authorities if they have information related to family or friends who can be lost.
The rescue team continued to comb the banks of the river, which were in ruins in the Texas hill after sudden floods hit and killed at least 50 people.
