Grieving parents have revealed the identities of children who were among the 27 people to have died at Camp Mystic in the deadly Texas floods.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Texas flash flood<\/a> have swept through communities since July 4 and cause massive devastation, killing 82 throughout the state.<\/p>\n

While rescue and search efforts remain underway in the new week<\/a>, authorities are warning that the death toll will continue to rise.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

One of the most heartbreaking elements of the surprise flood is that a summer Christian girls camp was massively impacted.<\/p>\n

The camp, set up in 1926, is for girls above the second grade to build their confidence and independence.<\/p>\n

Texas<\/a> Governor Greg Abbott said that some 750 girls had been staying at the camp when the floodwaters hit.<\/p>\n

Officials have said 10 girls and one camp counselor remain missing, with parents heartbreakingly confirming the names of the girls who have died in the floods.<\/p>\n

\u201cEloise was literally friends with everyone. She loved spaghetti but not more than she loved dogs and animals.<\/p>\n
