More than 600 volunteers flocked to central Texas on Sunday to help with search and rescue operations along the Guadalupe River after deadly flooding.The volunteers, who organized themselves in Center Point’s Fire Dept., were trying to find survivors and remains.Volunteer and high school principal Josh Limmer told Reuters the group is formed by ex-military and local civilians that arrived in the area to rescue “whatever we can find.”The death toll from catastrophic floods in Texas reached at least 69 on Sunday, including at least 21 children, as the search for girls missing from a summer camp entered a third day.Texas Governor Greg Abbott, speaking at a press conference on Sunday afternoon, said the death toll in Kerr County, the epicenter of the flooding, had reached 59, while another 10 had died elsewhere in Texas and 41 remained missing.Among the most devastating impacts of the flooding occurred at Camp Mystic summer camp, a nearly century-old Christian girls camp, where 11 girls and a counselor are still missing.The flooding occurred after the nearby Guadalupe River broke its banks after torrential rain fell in the central Texas area on Friday, the U.S. Independence Day holiday. Larry Leitha, the Kerr County Sheriff in Texas Hill Country, said earlier that 21 children have died in the flooding.Officials speaking at the press conference on Sunday afternoon said the destruction killed three people in Burnet County, one in Tom Green county, five in Travis County and one in Williamson County.Officials said on Saturday that more than 850 people had been rescued, including some clinging to trees, after a sudden storm dumped up to 15 inches of rain across the region, about 140 km northwest of San Antonio.(Production: Sandra Stojanovic, Andrea Rodriguez)
