Authorities say more than 20 girls are still unaccounted for at Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas, where the Guadalupe River rose more than 20 feet in less than two hours during torrential rains that triggered flash flooding in parts of the state yesterday.

At least 27 people, including nine children, have died in the flooding, according to local officials. The families of three campers have confirmed their deaths to CNN.

    The adults in the state were not the ones affected in this instance. Unfortunately.

      Parents tend to be impacted when their children die. Dying themselves is often preferable.
