At least 80 dead and 41 missing: Gov. Abbott provides update on Texas flooding

At least 80 people have died in connection with the flash floods that struck central Texas early Friday, according to officials. The toll includes at least 28 children in Kerr County, where 11 girls and one counselor are still missing from Camp Mystic, authorities said. Gov. Greg Abbott said flash flooding still poses a danger for parts of the state, with more rain on the way in several areas. Officials are urging people in Hunt, a community in Kerr County, to move to higher ground this afternoon because of potential flooding.

At least 41 people are missing in connection with the flash floods that struck central Texas early Friday, according to Gov. Greg Abbott. “Across the state, in all the areas affected by flooding, there are 41 known missing,” Abbott said during a news conference Sunday afternoon. Friends and family of those with confirmed information about a missing loved one are asked to contact local authorities, Abbott said, but noted any calls made based on unconfirmed information could slow down the search and rescue process. #CNN #News
