At least 81 people have been confirmed dead in central Texas and another 41 are missing following flash floods on Friday.

‎Sixty-eight of the fatalities, including 28 children, were in Kerr County, where a riverside Christian girls’ camp was deluged.

‎Ten girls and a counsellor from Camp Mystic are still missing.

‎There are five confirmed casualties in Travis County, three in Burnet County, two in Williamson County, two in Kendall County and one in Tom Green County.

‎Figures are changing quickly as rescuers continue to search for the missing, and officials say the death toll is certain to rise.

‎More storms are expected in the next 24-48 hours in the region, which could hamper rescue teams who are already facing venomous snakes as they sift through mud and debris.
