AccuWeather partner CNN News Source correspondent Lee Waldman is in central Texas with more information.
00:06
Lee, just describe the current state of rescue operations and what's going on there.
00:15
So we're outside of Camp Mystic now and the sun is starting to rise here in central Texas
00:21
and we're finally starting to see some of the cabins off in the distance.
00:25
You might be able to also hear the river as it's flowing.
00:28
This river rose so much it reached those cabins there to the tops of those cabin roofs.
00:34
We heard from Governor Greg Abbott yesterday who toured some of those cabins
00:38
and saw the belongings, beds, things like that strewn about inside of those cabins there.
00:44
It's hard to even fathom where we are and where the river level is now,
00:49
how much water actually inundated this area.
00:52
I want to, if we can pan over to the other side to show you the destruction that happened to the trees in this area.
00:59
And you can see those trees are nearly toppled over.
01:02
There is a rocky bottom in this area over here that was filled with rescue workers yesterday
01:09
searching through all that debris, trying to find the missing campers and the missing counselors at this point,
01:16
trying to find all those who are missing.
01:17
We know that there's 27 people still missing, and even when it was dark out,
01:22
we saw nearly half a dozen state trooper vehicles leaving Camp Mystic,
01:26
followed by another half dozen rescue workers who were starting their operations before the sun started coming up.
01:33
It is nonstop here, trying to get some of those parents some good news today.
01:40
Partner, CNN News Source correspondent, Lee Waldman, thank you for that update.
