Months of heavy rain fell over just a few hours overnight in central Texas on Thursday, causing flash flooding of the Guadalupe River.
Up to 25 centimetres of rain fell in some areas, causing the Guadalupe River to rise more than six metres (20 feet) in a couple of hours.
In an update on Friday afternoon, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said between six and 10 bodies had been found, with numbers fluctuating by the hour.
Meanwhile, at least 20 children at an all-girls summer camp are reportedly missing following the catastrophic flooding.
Global’s Kyle Benning has more on the rescue efforts.

Trump will fix it! He will just turn off the water! Like he turned it on in California. Sad for the people who lost their lives but you all voted for a climate denier so you get what Musk paid for.
LOL
These comments are disappointing. CHILDREN have DIED. DO BETTER
Go build arks,,,,
And don't for a second we Canadians give a sh**
Guadalupe is famous
Not to worry trump is on the way with a lot of money
And new homes
He’s a great builder for the poor look at how many houses he has built for the poor with his billions
Hang tight he’ll be there after he finishes playing golf
Water over-capacity😅😅😅
Thoughts and Tariffs from canada 😂
Texas version of emergency preparedness. Pray.
NOAA might have forecasted the danger. Too bad for the dead that Lyin' King cut their budget. GOP could care less.
Cloud seeding
If someone like Trump cuts or reduces funding to all agencies that could predict such storms, I shouldn't be surprised if people are then surprised by such floods.
Meters and centimeters?
Is this reporter gone mad?
Ohhh,its "Global news",i get it.
The orange god will help. 😒
So many people in comments disrespecting the deaths of children who never voted for anyone in politics. You can't seem to direct your hate torwards Trump and his people ( whom not all of us in the U.S. voted for ) you just boo our national anthem and mock children dying …. Good for you i guess
All that FEMA money went to big oil in this new bill.
If you don't respect mother nature, she will not respect you. Actually pretty simple!
What is wrong with these comments? Flash floods during the night have killed people! There are 20 missing girls from a summer camp! 20 feet is 6 meters, that's almost 3 stories worth of water.
Who opened the damn???? Terrorist or government??? I guess that the same thing in USA,,,
Maybe Iran will send aid
I'm sure your president will make a commemorative tee shot at the golf course this weekend.
That's exactly what you voted for, Texas!
Womp womp
Rip to the dead but irony is that this news went around whole world but when over 20k died in Libya when 2 dams collapsed due to fast floods no one talked about it
Cut FEMA, deny climate change and elect clowns. This is what you get
Let us pray. After we've fired the meteorologists, that's all we have left. I am very sorry for the victims and their families and friends.
Don’t forget – America voted for this.
Next florida…am getting my stock of popcorn ready
hahahahahahaha
hihihihihihihihooooo
As catastrophic flooding left scores of people dead and missing in Texas Hill Country and President Donald Trump celebrated signing legislation that will eviscerate every aspect of federal efforts to address the climate emergency, officials in the Lone Star State blasted the National Weather Service—one of many agencies gutted by the Department of Government Efficiency—for issuing faulty forecasts that some observers blamed for the flood's high death toll.
The weather has been crazy in Canada this year. The amount of historical weather events is nerve racking!
Happy 4th of July.
STOP WATCHING GLOBAL
Wasn't there any warning system for this???… Wake up please.
Where is Trump gone to play golf. What a Disgrace.
Trump cut 1000 jobs in weather watch and detection and this is what happened. He sends his thoughts and prayers while headed to his golf course to spend the money he saved by these firings.
If you voted for this criminal, you got exactly what you voted for, a fraud, and a vile evil individual.
Every one of these deaths are on Trumps hands. He is 100 percent responsible for the deaths of these children and adults.
This was avoidable. This is what stupid and incompetence in the White House gets Texas for their votes.
It was the only time Trump didn’t lie when he said “I don’t care about you. I just need your vote”. What was difficult to understand in that statement?
No fema for you
The earth will do what it's always done. 😊
Trump severely weakened U.S. National Weather Services and has stated that he would down size the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Great Job Trump!! This disaster is only on you and The GOP. But, it seems obvious the you & The GOP don’t care for American lives.
Trump where is FEMA?

Was that land stolen from the Mexicans? Unfair trade at the very least. El que la hace la paga
