At least 24 people have died after heavy rainfall caused flash flooding in parts of central Texas on Friday.

More than 20 children are also missing from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ camp along the Guadalupe River, which Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said had risen 26 feet in 45 minutes during the flooding.

The National Weather Service said the Guadalupe River at Hunt hit its second-highest height on record on Friday.

The service said Saturday morning that rises were also beginning to occur on Lake Travis, and warned of “dangerous and life-threatening flooding and heavy rain” over Burnet, western Williamson, and northwestern Travis counties.

Here are some images showing the impact of the flooding and ongoing search and rescue efforts.
