Time running out in hunt for the 27 kids STILL missing in Texas floods… as death toll leaps to 46

Devastated parents in Texas are clinging to hope that their missing children will be found alive as authorities insist that the response to horrific flooding is still being treated as a rescue operation.

At least 46 people – including 15 children – have died after the Guadalupe River surged 30 feet above its normal height, devastating children’s summer camps and ripping apart families.

Wrecked father, Ty Badon, spoke with CNN on Saturday explaining his desperation in the hunt for his missing daughter and her friends who have not been seen or heard from since the disastrous rush of water.

‘We pray that all four of them are still alive,’ he said holding back tears. ‘All four are missing. They’re still missing.’

Badon, a resident of Beaumont, added that the last time his daughter and his friends were heard from was around 4 a.m. Friday morning.

‘It’s been four o’clock yesterday morning that we were told that they were on the phone with Aidan’s dad, who they own the house where they were,’ he said, adding that the house ‘is no longer there.’

He said his daughter and her friends frantically hung up, explaining that they needed to help the others who had ‘just been washed away.’

‘Aidan said “Hey I’ve got to go, I’ve got to help Ella and Reese … they just got washed away,” and then a few seconds later the phone just went dead, and that’s all we know,’ he continued explaining to CNN’s Ed Lavandera.

Badon believes his daughter ‘got washed away as well,’ as he clings to hope of an eventual reunion.
