At least 59 people have died after heavy rainfall caused flash flooding in parts of central Texas on Friday, authorities have said.

Rescue operations are ongoing in Central Texas after flash flooding along the Guadalupe River left 23 to 25 girls from Camp Mystic unaccounted for. Officials say dozens have died as catastrophic floods continue to ravage the Hill Country.

The search for those swept into deadly floods in central Texas continued Sunday as the death toll climbed. At least 43 people, including 15 children, died in Kerr County, Texas, after the area saw nearly a foot of rain Friday.
