Mayor Joe Herring Jr. of Kerrville, Texas, speaks with CNN’s Pamela Brown about the impact of the devastating flooding that has killed dozens of people in his community.

As much as 20in (500mm) of rain was reported in parts of Texas as storms hit the state, sending devastating torrents of water down river valleys.

Camp Mystic in Kerr County says Monday morning that it is “grieving the loss” of 27 campers and counselors as the search continues for victims of the disaster. The flooding sent a wall of water through the century-old summer camp Friday.
