BREAKING: Death toll reaches 100 and continues to climb in Texas flood, 27 children confirmed dead

"As of 8:30 this morning," said an official during a press conference, "we recovered 75 deceased bodies here in Kerr County, including 48 adults and 27 children. Of these 48 adults and 27 children, 15 adults and nine children are pending identification. At present, there are 10 campers from Camp Mystic unaccounted for and one counselor."

During a Sunday press conference, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said that there were 68 fatalities in Kerr County, including 40 adults and 28 children. 18 of those adults and 10 of the children are unidentified. Camp Mystic said that 27 of their campers and counselors died in the flooding.

Governor Greg Abbott and local authorities have cautioned that additional rains are in the forecast and more flooding could be on the horizon. Residents in the Hunt area of Kerr County had been urged to evacuate to higher ground. A Monday evening forecast said that winds and expected to abate and that the next few days will be drier than originally expected.

The Texas Division of Emergency Management said that the number of fatalities would likely top 100. This was per an email sent on Saturday that was reported on by the Daily Mail. Abbott insisted that while search and recovery efforts are underway, rescue remains the top priority.

Floods tore through Kerr County on Friday as rains caused the Guadalupe River to breech its banks and wash across popular campgrounds as well as Camp Mystic. Director of Camp Mystic Dick Eastland was among the dead after he lost his life trying to save girls from his camp. The camp had over 700 campers.

On Sunday, a woman was found clinging to a tree miles down river from where she began. Her mother, father, sister, aunt and uncle had been with her, but were not found alive. DNA testing will have to be used to identify remains. Families have been coming into Kerr County to give those samples.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
