Footage shared from Center Point, Texas shows water surging under a bridge in minutes on Friday, ripping trees from the ground and leaving devastation behind.

Rescue teams in central Texas are continuing the search for survivors five days after devastating flash floods swept through the region. Officials say the death toll, already above 100, is expected to rise.

In Kerr County, where several summer camps are based, 84 bodies have been recovered, including 28 children. Camp Mystic, a Christian camp in the Texas Hill Country, confirmed 27 of its campers and staff lost their lives. Ten children and one counsellor are still unaccounted for.

Officials are investigating whether emergency alerts were adequate, as poor mobile service may have hindered warnings.
