Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick read out a message from the director of Camp Mystic saying it had sustained "catastrophic" flooding AFP At least 13 people were dead after flash flooding hit south-central Texas early Friday, officials said, with more than 20 girls at a summer camp still unaccounted for. "We have identified 13 fatalities," Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha told a press conference after devastating floods swept through the region northwest of San Antonio, warning more casualties were likely. Some of the dead were children, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said.
