Fifty-nine people are dead as a result of the flooding and torrential rains in Kerr County, Texas, Sheriff Larry Leitha said during a Sunday-morning press conference. That tally includes 38 adults and 21 children, Leitha said.

At least 27 campers and counselors were killed at Camp Mystic during the devastating Texas floods, the camp said in a statement. Some remain missing.

Emergency responders continue to search for missing people and local police said efforts have been slowed by "sightseers who are making things worse."
