Meteorologists explained that the fast-moving wave turned rivers into deadly torrents within minutes. Authorities say the floodwaters moved so quickly that many campers and residents had little time to escape. Kerr County officials confirmed that 24 deaths were directly linked to the flooding along the Guadalupe River.<\/p>\n<p>Heartbreaking stories have emerged, including the confirmed deaths of several children from Camp Mystic and the loss of elderly couple Joni and Robert Brake, whose cabin was swept away. In another case, a local coach and his family remain missing after floodwaters overtook their vacation home.
