Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said about six to 10 bodies have been found, and that the situation is fluid and ongoing. He said he expects the fatality count to rise. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Within 45 minutes, the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet and it was a destructive flood \u2014 taking property and sadly lives,&#8221; Patrick said during a news conference Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Texas issued flash flood emergencies in five counties in West Texas on Friday as Hill Country continues to be slammed by severe rain and flooding. Between 5 and 11 inches of rain have fallen in northwestern Bandera County, Central Kerr County, Northeastern Tom Green County, East Central Kerr County and West Central Kendall County,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forecast.weather.gov\/wwamap\/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&amp;wwa=Flash%20Flood%20Warning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according<\/a>\u00a0to the National Weather Service.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick addressed parents of children at Camp Mystic, where there were about 700 children at summer camp when the floods hit. The lieutenant governor, who is acting as governor while Gov. Greg Abbott is on vacation, said around 20 children were unaccounted for on Friday. He said they are praying for all those missing &#8220;to be found alive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If they are alive and safe, we will find them and bring them home to you,&#8221; Patrick said.<\/p>\n<p>The camp said in a statement, read by Patrick, that there has been a &#8220;catastrophic level&#8221; of flooding. He told parents watching the news conference that if they have not been contacted, their child is accounted for at this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Patrick said Camp Mystic is an all-girls summer camp in the area that has several camps with thousands of children attending for the summer.\u00a0The camp said they have no power, no water and no Wi-Fi , adding that &#8220;the highway has washed away, so we are struggling to get more help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/04\/afcdf973-75b6-4398-ba70-aacf270ab17a\/thumbnail\/620x413\/ea1a4f7fe24791fc329966fdf9ce54ad\/ap25185684773746.jpg#\" alt=\"Severe Weather Texas \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/04\/afcdf973-75b6-4398-ba70-aacf270ab17a\/thumbnail\/620x413\/ea1a4f7fe24791fc329966fdf9ce54ad\/ap25185684773746.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/04\/afcdf973-75b6-4398-ba70-aacf270ab17a\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/3a3c8ef33cb064a7f49a83de03e30c1f\/ap25185684773746.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">A flood gauge marks the height of water flowing over a farm-to-market road near Kerrville, Texas, on Friday, July 4, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Eric Gay \/ AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Earlier Friday, the city of Kerrville, Texas,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KerrvilleTX\/posts\/pfbid0iGbvKuiRaBxdQyLoXR6jtwyGiup3Ky3pzmSfnV2X3TJ4Jo2qemkBKYUUUHe95CXLl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a>\u00a0in a social media post, &#8220;Search and recovery efforts are ongoing and will increase as the waters recede.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Water rescues continue along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, with a number of local and regional emergency service organizations taking part, the city said.
