Thirteen people have died in Kerr County in the US state of Texas, according to authorities, after severe weather and flooding hit parts of the state.
More people are unaccounted for, including at a summer camp where Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick confirmed around 20 children are missing.
"Within 45 minutes, the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet and it was a destructive flood - taking property and sadly lives," he said in a news conference on Friday.
He read out a statement from all-girls Camp Mystic, where about 700 children were attending, saying there had been a "catastrophic level" of flooding, and informed parents that if they have not been contacted, their child is accounted for.
