At least 78 people have confirmed dead in Central Texas and another 41 lost after flash floods Friday.
Sixty and eight of the deaths, including 28 children, happened in Kerr County, where a woman woman camp. Ten girls and a counselor from the camp mystic is still gone.
Officials say the death is certain to rise. Many storms are expected in the next 24-48 hours in the region, which can prevent rescue teams who have already faced scary snakes while they flow in mud and debris.

To the rest of Kerr County, 18 adults and 10 children are formally identified.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Sunday that the authorities “stop left” to make sure that every lost person is found.
