The National Guard was called in on Friday in Texas following a severe river flood that led to the deaths of over a dozen individuals and carried away many children from a nearby Christian camp.

Heavy rain on Friday morning caused the Guadalupe River to rise nearly 30 feet in 45 minutes.

Officials confirmed at least 13 people are dead, including adults and children.

Camp Mystic, which had over 750 participants, reports at least 20 children unaccounted for, as stated by Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. Evacuation efforts are underway, utilizing helicopters.

Severe flooding was reported Friday in Kerr County, Texas.
