A flood watch is in effect into July 15 for more than a dozen counties as saturated ground gets drenched again.
Eight-year-old girls at sleep-away camp, families crammed into recreational vehicles, local residents traveling to or from work. These are some of the victims.
Torrential rain flooded creeks, streams and the Guadalupe River, where the water swelled more than 26 feet in 45 minutes.
A large percentage of people still unaccounted for were probably visiting the area, Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said.
