Flash flooding in Texas Hill Country, triggered by intense thunderstorms, has resulted in at least 81 deaths, including at least 28 children. Camp Mystic, a girls' camp located on the Guadalupe River, confirmed at least 27 deaths among campers and counselors.

Firefighters from Central Florida have joined the search and rescue efforts in Texas after deadly flooding killed more than 100 people during the July 4 holiday weekend. More than 160 people are still missing.

As the Texas flooding death toll reached 95 on Monday - at least 27 of them children - and Tropical Storm Chantal prompted dozens of water rescues in North Carolina, some Floridians were reminded of the disastrous "rain bomb" in 2023 that hit faster and harder than any hurricane in living memory.
