Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick cautioned that while the children remain unaccounted for, they may simply be out of communication rather than missing in the flood.
“They could be somewhere safe without the ability to reach out,” he said.
The scenes from the flood zone are heartbreaking. In Hunt, Texas, where Camp Mystic is located, piles of furniture and debris now line the streets, offering a glimpse of the destruction left behind.
Numerous videos and images have circulated online showing the chaos as it happened, including a time-lapse of the water rising and comparisons of the Guadalupe River before and after it overflowed.
One post on Reddit captured the stark transformation of the landscape.
The “before” photo showed dry land, with spaced-out trees and walkways — a calm park-like setting.
But in the “after” image, the same area was completely underwater, with only the tops of trees visible above the surface.
Viewers were stunned by the speed and scale of the disaster.
