At least 90 people have died after devastating floods hit central Texas.

Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp that sits along the Guadalupe River, has confirmed that 27 campers and counselors died in weekend floods.

Ten campers and one counselor are still unaccounted for.

Rescuers are still searching for dozens of missing people after terrifying floods, according to officials.

The mayor of Kerrville said he did not receive a warning about the torrential rainfall.

A level 3-of-4 risk of flooding rainfall is in effect for parts of central Texas, including Kerr County and portions of the Guadalupe and Llano River basins.
