More than 850 people were rescued, some from trees, after a sudden storm dumped up to 15 inches of rain near the Guadalupe River, 85 miles northwest of San Antonio, officials said.

At least 43 people, including 15 children, have been confirmed dead following flash floods in central Texas, authorities said on Saturday as rescuers continued a frantic search for campers, vacationers and residents who were still missing.
