On Monday, there is still a risk that new water masses will move into Texas Hill Country, announces the meteorological authority NWS office in Austin/San Antonio on X.

"It is difficult to exactly specify locations where larger amounts of isolated rain occur. Further heavy rain will lead to rapid runoff and flooding", it says in the post.

Most of those who have so far been confirmed dead in the extensive flooding have been reported from Kerr county, where 68 people have been confirmed dead. Of the 28 children who died, several participated in the Christian summer camp Camp Mystic right next to the Guadalupe River which rose over six meters in less than two hours early on Friday.

From Travis county, at least six dead are reported, from Burnet county three and Kendall county and Williamson county two dead each. At least one has died in Tom Green county, reports CNN.

According to the TV channel, rescue personnel are still searching for at least 41 people who have been reported missing. Ten of them are children from Camp Mystic.
