Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone.
A massive search and rescue effort continues in the Texas Hill Country following Friday's historic flooding of the Guadalupe River.
At least two dozen people have died in the floods and more than 20 girls from a summer camp on the banks of the river are missing.
Texas Public Radio's Dan Katz has more.
The downpour caused the river to rise as much as 25 feet in 45 minutes,
engulfing cars, debris and entire buildings in the gray and brown water.
Governor Greg Abbott says the state is bearing no resource to rescue the missing.
So many people have been swept up into an extraordinary catastrophe.
It needs God, but it also needs a robust response.
First responders have rescued more than 200 people since the flooding began.
Local officials say it's possible many people may be stranded and unable to call for help.
