Flash floods have swept across Kerr County in central Texas, killing at least 51 people including 15 children.

Some 27 children have been reported missing from Camp Mystic, a Christian girl’s camp on the Guadalupe River, which rose more than eight metres in less than an hour on Thursday.

Several towns have been devastated by the severe floods, with 850 people evacuated from the area.
