00:00A desperate surge for more than 20 missing girls from a summer camp after deadly flash floods in central Texas.

00:07Torrential rains flooded the Guadalupe River near San Antonio.

00:11Camp Mystic is a sleepaway camp for girls along that river.

00:14State officials say without warning, the river rose 26 feet in 45 minutes.

00:21First responders rescued more than 200 people from the catastrophic flooding.

00:25They recovered at least 24 bodies yesterday.

00:28Jason Allen is in Kerr, Texas, where search and rescue operations are underway.

00:34Jason, good morning.

00:37Good morning, Michelle. Yes, they are underway.

00:39And this is still being called an active rescue mission this morning.

00:45There have been helicopter teams and boat teams going up the Guadalupe River.

00:48They're having to sort through work around these huge piles of debris.

00:53And they have even been scanning the treetops looking for people who may still be waiting to be rescued.

01:01Rescues and reunifications.

01:03More than 160 people were evacuated from the flood zone by helicopter.

01:07While some of these families have been reunited, others are desperately waiting this morning.

01:12We remain in a search and rescue posture right now.

01:16They will continue in the darkness of night.

01:20They will be taking place when the sun rises in the morning.

01:23They will be nonstop.

01:26Twelve inches of rain fell within an hour, turning Kerr County into a catastrophic flood zone.

01:32First responders launched dozens of rescues along the swollen Guadalupe River, flooding several children's summer camps.

01:38Out of the over 700, we have a number of about 23 not accounted for.

01:44This helicopter swooped in and rescued a young camper from the top of a tree.

01:49Photos from inside one of the camps showed children being evacuated.

01:53We will do everything humanly possible 24-7.

01:59Torrents of flood water ripped away homes and cars.

02:03We do not have a morning system.

02:05Rob Kelly is the Kerr County judge.

02:07We had no reason to believe that this was going to be anything like what's happened here.

02:11None whatsoever.

02:12This concrete pad was part of an RV park.

02:16And the owner told me they were lined up along the riverbank for the 4th of July holiday.

02:20But there was no warning for them to get out in time.

02:23And all of them washed down the river.

02:25It was raging water, not this calm.

02:28It was raging water.

02:30Lorena Guillen owns a restaurant right next to the RV park.

02:33She describes a terrifying scene as the river quickly began to flood.

02:37You could also see vehicles coming from up the river with the lights on.

02:43And you can hear somebody honking.

02:45And they were washing away.

02:47They kept going.

02:49Honking as they were washing down the river to try to get somebody's attention.

02:54Yeah, but it was impossible.

02:55This is part of a campground here along the river.

03:00It was full of RVs and people in cabins.

03:03They were all staying here for the 4th of July holiday weekend.

03:06And so we talked about how many girls are missing from that camp upriver.

03:09Dana, they don't know exactly how many other people are still missing this morning.

03:15Jason, absolutely devastating to hear those stories.

03:17And I think the entire country has its thoughts and prayers there,

03:20especially in hearing about those missing children right now.

03:23Thank you for the update.
