Episode Details

Rescue and recovery efforts continue following devastating Guadalupe River flooding that has killed at least 75 people. More than two dozen campers and counselors died at Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp, and 10 campers remain missing.

Flash flood warnings are in effect for many parts of Texas, and officials fear that the waterlogged soil may lead to more intense flash flooding ahead.

To the east, closer to Austin, rescue teams are trying to locate untold numbers of missing residents who received little warning as floodwaters ravaged communities on Saturday.

What happened, what could have prevented the tragedy, and where do we go from here?
