Texas floods kill dozens and leave many missing

At least twenty-four people have been killed in flash flooding in Texas. Searches are ongoing for up to twenty-five girls who were attending a Christian summer camp and are unaccounted for. Their campsite was on the banks of the Guadalupe river -- which rose 26 feet in just 45 minutes because of heavy rain.
