PHOTOS: Desperate search for survivors after Texas flooding

The death toll from the flash floods in Texas rose to nearly 70 on Sunday after searchers found more more bodies, include those of children who were camping along the Guadalupe River banks.

Searchers used helicopters, boats and drones to look for victims and to rescue people stranded in trees and from camps isolated by washed-out roads. Officials said more than 850 people were rescued in the first 36 hours.
