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.

      For the parents - I won’t say so much that they deserved as much as it was predictable based on the long voting history of the state. The children really didn’t deserve it, though.

        Saying “long voting history of the state” is a gross misunderstanding of Texas. Every major city here votes blue. We are so heavily gerrymandered that we get screwed every election. Texas is a sleeper swing state. I know because I live here.
