• Separately, Texas Acting Gov. Dan Patrick said around 20 children are unaccounted for at Camp Mystic, which is in Kerr County. He cautioned it “does not mean they are lost.”
• Widespread rainfall of 4 to 8 inches, with some reports of up to 15 inches, has fallen in south-central Texas since late Thursday evening, prompting multiple flash flood emergencies — the most severe form of flood warning.
