Texas river flood leaves at least 6 dead as emergency crews race to find others missing; camp evacuated

The National Guard was deployed in Texas on Friday after a devastating river flood killed at least half a dozen people and swept away children at a local Christian camp.

Heavy rain on Friday morning caused the Guadalupe River to reach nearly 30 feet, surging 20 feet in only an hour.

At least six people have been reported dead, according to FOX affiliate KABB. 

Two young girls attending Camp Mystic remain missing, and other campers are being evacuated via helicopter, KSAT 12 reported.
