Kerr County has reported 28 adults and 15 children deceased, Travis County has counted four deaths, Kendall and Tom Green counties have confirmed one each, and the Burnet County Emergency Management coordinator said in a statement that two fatalities have been confirmed Saturday.

Anguished parents waited for word on the more than two dozen children still missing from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls' camp.

Officials said more than 850 people had been rescued, including some clinging to trees, after a sudden storm dumped more than a foot of rain in an area around the Guadalupe River.
