The emergency weather alert had come early Fourth of July morning: There would be life-threatening flash flooding in Kerr County, Texas.

Here's what to know about the deadly flooding, the colossal weather system that drove it and ongoing efforts to identify victims.

The number of fatalities connected to the Kerr County floods has risen to 75, local officials said Monday as search and rescue efforts continue and Camp Mystic grieved ”the loss of 27 campers and counselors”.

Texas Rep. Chip Roy revealed Sunday that the supposedly harrowing tale of survival of two girls who clung to a tree until they were rescued from the floods was a false report.

The claim circulated as rescuers searched for people missing from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls summer camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River.

Historic Texas flood leaves 161 missing and 96 dead. Rescuers battle harsh conditions, as communities grapple with heartache and aid reaches survivors.

Virginia Wynne Naylor, 8, was at Camp Mystic, a girls' summer camp with cabins along the river in a rural part of Kerr County, when the floods hit on July 4. Her family confirmed her death in a statement, referring to her as Wynne.

Shock has turned into grief across Texas where at least 120 people have died from flash floods and more were missing as the search for victims moved methodically along endless miles of rivers and rubble Thursday.
