The research continued during the night from Friday to Saturday to find many people who are missing, including around twenty young girls from a summer camp.

The destructive force of rapid rising waters just before dawn Friday won the houses and vehicles. There have been hundreds of rescues around the county of Kerr, including at least 167 by helicopter, according to the authorities. The total number of missing was not known, but the sheriff said that between 23 and 25 of them were girls who had attended the Mystic camp, a Christian summer camp along the Guadeloupe river.

On social networks, parents and families have published desperate calls to obtain information on their relatives taken in the flooded area.

People spanning debris on a bridge over the Guadalupe river after a sudden flood swept the region on July 5, 2025 in Ingram, Texas.

“The camp has been completely destroyed,” said Elinor Lester, 13, one of the hundreds of campers from the Mystic camp. “A helicopter landed and started to evacuate people. It was really frightening, ”she said.

The child said that a unleashed storm woke him around 1:30 am Friday morning, and when the rescuers arrived, they tied a rope so that the girls hold it while they crossed the bridge with flood waters to the knees.

The flood in the middle of the night of July 4 took by surprise many campers and residents. The officials defended their preparations in the event of extreme weather conditions and their response, but they said that they did not expect such an intense downpour which would be, in fact, the equivalent of several months of rain for the region.
