Hello and welcome to NewsHour Live from the BBC World Service in London.
I'm Rebecca Kesby.
We begin the programme in Texas, where six million people are still under flood watches,
likely to stay in place till later this evening.
Meanwhile, the search and rescue operations continue.
The authorities are saying that at least 51 people are known to have died, including 15 children.
But there are still people missing, including 27 children.
Young girls who were on a camping trip with a Christian youth group.
Over 800 people have been rescued.
but the scale of the disaster and the sheer speed at which it happened is still shocking survivors.
Flash floods on Friday, caused by unprecedented heavy rain,
saw the Guadalupe River swell by 26 feet, that's eight metres, in just 45 minutes.
Residents of the town of Hunt, near Camp Mystic,
where the missing girls were swept away, have been trying to help with the search.
It's unbelievable.
It's a lot.
of destruction.
Most of the camps are gone.
Like, Hunt's gone.
We're just trying to keep doing what we can to find our missing.
