Timelapse Shows Texas’ Llano River Completely Flood in Just Minutes : The Picture Show : NPR

The Llano River swelled with floodwater in Llano County, Texas, on July 4, as heavy rain and deadly flooding hit the state's Hill Country area.

Timelapse video captured by Robert Ivey shows authorities blocking off a low water crossing over the Llano River in Kingsland just before flash flooding completely inundated the area in just 10 minutes.

“I record the crossing 24/7 with a security camera,” Ivey told Storyful. “The river crossing is also known as ‘the slab' and is a local swimming spot.”

The death toll in the Texas flooding is now at least 67 people.

During a news conference, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said the death toll in his county is 59 people. That includes 38 adults and 21 children. Leitha said eleven Camp Mystic campers are unaccounted for.

Kerr County, there are eight deaths due to the flooding in surrounding counties.
