“The work continues and will continue until everyone finds it,” said the sheriff in the Kerr region, Larry Leita, launching the BBC on Sunday (7/7/2025).
When the search entered the second night, regional officials said that 27 children were still missing in the Christian youth camp located along the river.
Some parents confirm the death of their child on social networks. About 850 people have been saved so far.
Several warnings about sudden floods are still valid on weekends in Central Texas.
At the press conference on Saturday (5/7/2025) in the afternoon, the Governor of Texas Greg Ebbott said that he signed a disaster statement that was expanded to increase search efforts.
He said that officials would be persistent to make sure that they found everyone who became a victim of this incident.
“We will stop when the work is over,” he said.
Officials say that this remains a search and rescue mission, and not the restoration efforts.
They said that the rescue team followed the Guadalup river to try to find people who could be swept by floods.
