Around 24 girls are still missing from the summer camp even after a frantic search took place for the whole day today. The river water rose by 29 feet rapidly near the camp. In a break for rescue crews, authorities said flood waters on Saturday were receding in the area around the Guadalupe River, about 85 miles (137 km) northwest of San Antonio, where at least 237 people were rescued, with more than 100 by helicopters.
A flood watch, however, remains in effect until 7 p.m. on Saturday from the San Antonio-Austin, Texas, region, with scattered showers expected throughout the day, said Allison Santorelli, a meteorologist with the NWS Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.

Torrential rains unleashed flash floods along the Guadalupe River in Texas on Friday. At least 24 people were killed. Rescue teams scrambled to save dozens of victims trapped by high water or reported missing in the disaster, local officials said. The Search Team conducted boat and helicopter rescues.
Among the missing, 23 to 25 people were listed as unaccounted for at an all-girls Christian summer camp located on the banks of the rain-engorged Guadalupe, authorities said.
The U.S. National Weather Service declared a flash flood emergency for parts of Kerr County in south-central Texas Hill Country, about 65 miles (105 km) northwest of San Antonio, following thunderstorms that dumped as much as a foot of rain.

Texas Hill Country was beset by death and disaster Friday after a deadly flash flood hit the area. At least six people were killed and about 20 girls attending a summer camp were reported missing after months worth of heavy rain fell in a matter of hours, leaving search teams to conduct boat and helicopter rescues in the fast-moving water.
At least 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain poured down overnight in central Kerr County, causing flash flooding of the Guadalupe River and leading to desperate pleas for information about the missing. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said somewhere between 6 and 10 bodies had been found so far in the frantic search for victims.
