‘They went out the window in their nightgowns. They walked in bare feet in neck-high water. These are little girls. They swam for about 10 or 15 minutes. Can you imagine? In the darkness and the rushing waters, and trees coming by you and rocks coming by you?’

As Texans continue to deal with Saturday’s flash flooding that has claimed dozens of lives, the lieutenant governor of the Lone Star State is urging citizens not to give up hope for those missing.
“Do not give up,” said Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on “Fox & Friends Weekend.” “Miracles can happen.”
The death toll Sunday morning rose to 59, with 27 girls missing from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the banks of the Guadalupe River in Hunt, Texas.
