Fourteen children in Texas are included in the 37 fatalities caused by flash floods, while the search for the missing individuals persists.
On Saturday, rescuers searched the flooded riverbanks strewn with twisted trees and overturned rocks in their effort to find over two dozen children from a girls' camp, along with many others who are unaccounted for after a surge of water rushed down a river in the Texas Hill Country.
The storm resulted in the deaths of at least 37 individuals statewide, including 14 children.
Approximately 36 hours after the flooding, officials have yet to disclose the total number of missing persons, aside from the 27 children from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp situated along a river in Kerr County, where the majority of the deceased were found.

The rapidly rising and destructive waters surged eight meters on the Guadalupe River within just 45 minutes before dawn on Friday, sweeping away homes and vehicles.
The threat persisted as heavy rains continued to batter communities outside San Antonio on Saturday, with flash flood warnings and watches still in place.
Rescue teams employed helicopters, boats, and drones to search for victims and to assist individuals trapped in trees and from camps cut off by flooded roads.
