Flash floods in Texas have killed at more than 80 people, many of them children.Heavy rains fell quickly in the predawn hours Friday in the Texas Hill Country, causing the Guadalupe River to rise 26 feet in just 45 minutes.

A t least 66 people are dead in central Texas after devastating flash floods slammed Texas Hill Country, with water rescues taking place along the Guadalupe River. A dozen are still missing from Camp Mystic in Kerr County, a children's summer camp, officials said Sunday.

Dozens are dead not because such events are unpredictable, but because society is organized around the profit interests of the financial oligarchy, not human need.
