Devastating flash floods in central Texas on Friday has killed at least 90 people, including more than two dozen at Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp for girls along the Guadalupe River. 

The river rose rapidly early Friday morning as the area, known as Texas’ Hill Country, was saturated with rain.

Where were the floods in Texas?

The area hardest hit by the floods was Kerr County where the Guadalupe River rose to critical levels in multiple locations, according to National Weather Service data. Kerrville, the largest city in Kerr County, is roughly 100 miles west of Austin and 65 miles northwest of San Antonio.  

Kerr County reported the highest number of fatalities from the floods as of Monday afternoon. Other counties to report fatalities include Travis County, where Austin is located.
