Heavy rains have caused devastating flash floods in Texas Hill Country, killing at least 24 people and leaving many others missing. Among the missing are more than 20 girls from a summer camp. At a news conference late Friday, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said two dozen people were dead after heavy rains caused flash flooding along the Guadalupe River. Authorities said hundreds of people had been rescued so far. Officials say the death toll may rise as rescue operations continue. The forecast in Central Texas calls for more rain on Saturday with the potential for pockets of heavy downpours and more flooding.
