Rescuers are continuing the search for more flood victims across the state.

The number of deaths from flooding in central Texas over the July Fourth weekend reached 104 on Monday.

In hard-hit Kerr County, officials said searchers have found the bodies of 84 people, including 28 children.

Nineteen deaths were reported in Travis, Burnet, Kendall, Tom Green, and Williamson counties.

Officials have said they expect the death toll to rise.

Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ camp, announced on Monday the deaths of 27 campers and counselors.

“Camp Mystic is grieving the loss of 27 campers and counselors following the catastrophic flooding on the Guadalupe River,” Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas, said in a statement posted on its website. “Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy. We are praying for them constantly.”

The camp said it has been in contact with state and local authorities, who are still allocating resources to search for missing campers, and thanked the community and first responders for their support.

“We ask for your continued prayers, respect and privacy for each of our families affected. May the Lord continue to wrap His presence around all of us,” Camp Mystic added.

Rescuers are moving through tough terrain to continue the search for flood victims, including more Camp Mystic attendees. Crews near the camp are using heavy equipment to move tree trunks and other debris from the river, in the hope of finding more survivors.

As of Sunday afternoon, more than two days after the floods impacted the camp, authorities say there are still campers and counselors unaccounted for.

Gov. Greg Abbott said on Sunday that at least 41 individuals were still unaccounted for across the state, and more could be missing.

Ten additional deaths were reported in the counties of Travis, Burnet, Kendall, Tom Green, and Williamson, which were also affected by the deadly flooding.

The Texas Division of Emergency Management has issued warnings, including continued instruction to “turn around, don’t drown” for those who live near areas still impacted by high water levels.
