By JIM VERTUNO, JULIO CORTEZ and JOHN SEEWER KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — The grueling, desperate search for 27 missing girls stretched into a third day on Sunday after raging floodwaters surged

Rescuers scoured a devastated landscape in an increasingly bleak mission as they searched for missing people, including 27 girls at a camp that was slammed with a wall of water in a historic flash flood.

At least 27 girls are still missing after the Texas floods hit Camp Mystic. Nearly one foot of torrential rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly, leading to flash floods. The camp suffered major damage. Many cabins were destroyed, and search and rescue operations are still ongoing.
