At least one person has died in dangerous overnight flooding that prompted evacuations and damaged homes, schools and roads in the Hill Country.
Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday that officials were working to confirm additional details about the victim.
As of Wednesday, more than 1,300 people helped respond to the floods that hit a wide swath of Texas, Abbott said. More than 70 people have been rescued.
Abbott said flooding of the Guadalupe River was more severe downstream from Kerrville than upstream, where many summer camps are located.
"Right now, I am informed that none of those camps are facing any type of danger," he said at an 11 a.m. press conference on Thursday.
The area around Comfort, Texas, is experiencing the brunt of the flooding, Abbott said.
