The flash floods that have devastated central Texas have led to 90 deaths as of Monday morning, with the number expected to keep growing.
The loss of life includes 27 children and counselors from an all-girls summer camp, Camp Mystic, located in Kerr County, Texas. USA Today reports that 700 children were in attendance when the nearby Guadalupe River rose to 26 feet in less than an hour on Friday, July 4th, following a period of continuous heavy rain.
“We will remain 100% dedicated, searching for every single one of the children who were at Camp Mystic as well as anybody else in the riverbed,” said Texas Gov. Greg Abbot. “We are working as swiftly as possible.”
Following the tragedy, news networks have sent teams to the region to offer extensive coverage:
ABC News
World News Tonight anchor David Muir will be in Texas for Monday’s broadcast. Joining him on location will be ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis, who will also anchor her primetime show from Texas on Monday night. Chief national correspondent Matt Gutman has been on the ground, filing a report that aired on Good Morning America and will contribute to other news programs. Also reporting from the region is national correspondent Mireya Villarreal and multi-platform reporter Jaclyn Lee.
CBS News
CBS Evening News co-anchor Maurice DuBois will anchor Monday and Tuesday’s broadcast from the area. DuBois has been reporting live from Kerr County—the epicenter of the disaster—since Sunday, and is joined by CBS News journalists including Jason Allen, Janet Shamlian, Karen Hua, and Nidia Cavazos.
CNN
Dallas-based CNN senior national correspondent Ed Lavandera was one of the first national reporters in the region and has been on location ever since. CNN’s Marybel Gonzalez, Isabel Rosales, and Leigh Waldman are also in Texas, as are CNN anchors Boris Sanchez and Pamela Brown. Notably, Brown had been a camper at Camp Mystic 30 years ago. On Sunday, she spoke of her time there, referring to it as “a magical place.”
