At least 119 people have been found dead in nearly a week since heavy rainfall overwhelmed the river and flowed through homes and youth camps in the early morning hours of July 4. Ninety-five of those killed were in the hardest-hit county in central Texas, Kerr County, where the toll includes at least three dozen children.

After attending Camp Mystic earlier this summer, 10-year-old Pazlee Spielman of Bryan set up a "lemon-aid" stand to raise money for victims of the deadly Hill Country floods that claimed the lives of fellow campers and counselors.

KERRVILLE — As the massive search for flood victims entered its seventh day, local officials on Thursday said the death toll in Kerr County has risen to 96. Officials have recovered 96 bodies in Kerr County as of 8 a.m. Thursday, with 60 of those adults and 36 children, said Jonathan Lamb, a spokesman with the Kerrville Police Department.

KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Over the last decade, an array of Texas state and local agencies missed opportunities to fund a flood warning system intended to avert a disaster like the one that killed dozens of young campers and scores of others in Kerr County on the Fourth of July.

The director of Camp Mystic was among the people killed due to the Hill Country floods, according to the Kerrville Daily Times.

The family was reportedly vacationing at a river house in Kerr County as the floods swept through the area unannounced.
