Officials have reported that 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic died in the devastating floods, with five campers and a counselor still missing.
Over 100 people have died after heavy rain pounded Kerr County, Texas, early Friday, leading to "catastrophic" flooding, the sheriff said.
As of 6:25 p.m. on Wednesday, 96 people — 60 adults and 36 children — are dead after Hill Country flooding, Kerr County officials said.
Officials reported at least 84 bodies recovered across Kerr and Kendall counties on Monday. That number is expected to grow.
The waters tore through the old buildings at Camp Mystic, sweeping away scores of campers and counselors or trapping them in their bunks. Thirty-eight adults and 21 children have been confirmed dead, but 18 adult victims and four children have not yet been identified.
The family was reportedly vacationing at a river house in Kerr County as the floods swept through the area unannounced.
Crews continue searching for victims a day after Gov. Greg Abbott said as many as 161 people could still be missing.
