At Least 25 Dead in Texas Floods, Over 20 Still Missing

At least 25 people have lost their lives following severe flooding in Kerr County, Texas, located northwest of San Antonio, according to reports from the Houston Chronicle.

Search and rescue operations are ongoing for more than 20 missing girls who were attending a summer camp in the affected area. News agency AFP reports that over 750 girls were present at Camp Mystic when the flooding occurred. The high water levels are making rescue efforts particularly challenging.

On Friday, Texas authorities declared a flood emergency in five counties in the western part of the state. Flooding is a recurring issue in Texas, especially during periods of heavy rainfall, and can lead to significant disruptions and risks to local communities.

🔎 Fact Check

The post inaccurately states that at least 25 people have died in the Texas floods; current reports indicate the death toll is at least 24. Additionally, while it mentions over 20 missing girls, it lacks clarity on their specific status. Overall, the content is misleading.
