Kerr County residents near the river are being told to evacuate the region immediately and to avoid traveling.

The South Central Texas area is experiencing historic rainfall, which has triggered a “deadly flood wave” that prompted four flash flood emergency warnings.

“We can confirm (the deaths) but we are afraid there may be more,” County Judge Rob Kelly told the Austin American-Statesman.

“They are still looking.”

Children who were camping at the Christian camp, Camp Mystic, were all safely rescued, according to Kelly.

First responders rushed to an RV park near Howdy’s Restaurant in Kerrville.
