At least 13 people have been killed and scores more are feared missing after historic floods inundated a Texas county.
Twenty three people are missing from Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, after the Guadalupe River flooded and surged by up to 30 feet above its usual water level Friday.
The names of those killed have not been shared, but the final death toll is expected to rise substantially as floodwaters recede.
And the identities of the missing have begun to emerge as stricken families share photos of their loved ones in the hopes of learning information about their whereabouts.
Terrified parents of those missing said they have been left in limbo as they await news from the ongoing searches, with the mother of one missing young campers, Janie Hunt, 9, saying: ‘We are just praying.’
Officials have stressed they hope to rescue many of the missing and say they’re still hopeful of finding most of those missing safe and well.
But the sheer scale of destruction – with buildings ripped from their foundations and cars swept away like toys – suggests that may be an overly optimistic prediction.
