"Out here today what we see here are families returning to this spot to look through the camp, look through the dorms, look through the cabins where their children were. They’re walking through and examining piles of debris. The waters are calm now, but just about a couple hundred yards away from where those families are, search and rescue efforts continue. As DPS troopers continue to look through on the riverbank and under collapsed trees and uprooted trees to see what they still might find."

STORYLINE:
Families sifted through waterlogged debris Sunday and stepped inside empty cabins at Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp ripped apart by flash floods that washed homes off their foundations and killed at least 70 people in central Texas.
Jim Vertuno with The Associated Press was on the site to show how rescuers are maneuvering through challenging terrain as they continued a desperate search for those who are still missing.
How many more remain unaccounted for across the Texas Hill Country and beyond remains unclear as authorities haven’t given an estimate even though it has been three days since the storm began pounding the state.
In Kerr County, home to Camp Mystic and other youth camps, searchers have found 16 bodies since Saturday afternoon.
Families were allowed to look around the camp beginning Sunday morning.
