It's very bad. It's deadly.

Rains started out in Kerr County overnight - rain totals, so far, over 12" in some places. Still having some bands of rain.

BREAKING: Camp Mystic, in an official communication to parents, confirms it has notified parents that their daughters may be missing from a catastrophic flash flooding event as widespread searches are ongoing in the Texas Hill Country.

Holy crap that's a lot of rain for anywhere! It's there a tropical thing going on over there I was unaware of?

A lot has happened in the last 15 hours. Here's radar since 7 PM Thursday evening which shows the tropical rain bomb that parked over Kerr county, ultimately leading to the catastrophic Guadalupe River flooding #atxwx #txwx pic.twitter.com/zt6MwI4y2o

I'm hoping the full force of the State of Texas, including the Texas Army National Guard, are deployed as rapidly as possible.

This is a really bad situation.

Man, this is reminiscent of the bad floods in I think '87 when a church bus got caught up in the flood waters. I'm still haunted by the video of the one girl the helicopter couldn't rescue from the water before she got swept away.

It's bad. I'm here in Kerrville. National Guard and Coast Guard have been deployed in Ingram and Hunt along the Guadalupe. Camps have been destroyed, campers missing, it's terrible because the areas that flooded the most are very remote. Barely any service out there in the first place.

3:30 PM: According to Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, approximately 23 children are still unaccounted for at Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas. Hundreds of rescuers are actively searching both on the ground and in the air.

I can agree to that. My fault, and I'll edit out my post. Sorry about that y'all.

My 11 yo girls go to camp Sunday (T Bar M) so this definitely got my attention. Feel terrible for those parents and I pray those kids are found.

My granddaughter is at camp out here right now.

I can relate.

My daughter has friends at Mystic this session.

Outdoor board has Thread. Super emotional and heart breaking. Ton off ags are personally effected.

I cried big tears over this today. Those poor Mystic girls. Every parent's worst nightmare.

They found two of the girls

That photo was from this afternoon. So, sadly, no.

I have a friend whose nephew has lost a daughter. Heartbreaking.

water rose 29' at Mystic....unreal...that is Harveyesque.

It's devastating. I have my experiences with multiple flash floods out in the Mojave and those take lives every year and those can't compare to what happened yesterday.

Lots of Ags affected by this. As the rescues come to an end and recoveries and rebuilding and healing begins, keep those affected in your thoughts and prayers and if you are donating, keep them to as local as possible. Don't go Red Cross is my personal recommendation.

This is a good place to donate to :
