Stories of rescues have begun trickling out, but 27 children from a storied camp on the Guadalupe River in Texas Hill Country remain unaccounted for.

At least 27 girls are still missing after the Texas floods hit Camp Mystic. Nearly one foot of torrential rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly, leading to flash floods. The camp suffered major damage. Many cabins were destroyed, and search and rescue operations are still ongoing.

Founded by a University of Texas football coach, Camp Mystic where raging floodwaters swept away dozens of girls - killing several and leaving many others missing - was established along the banks of the Guadalupe River in central Texas hill country nearly a century ago "to provide young girls with a wholesome Christian atmosphere.
