At least 100 people are dead in Texas after catastrophic flash flooding, with many of those being children.
Dozens are still missing, including 10 girls from a summer camp.
More than two dozen campers and counselors from Camp Mystic died in the flooding.
It's just one of many children's summer camps along the Guadalupe River, where mountains of debris, including mangled cars now sit.
More than 800 highwater rescues have happened since the flooding began.
President Donald Trump plans to visit the flood ravaged areas later this week.
For John Johnson, this tragic flooding is hitting way to close too home.
See ex-Montana man's concern Texas flood victims:
He's originally from Montana and moved to Kerville six years ago.
They were on their way to visit Montana when those rushing waters struck and now they watch from afar as their home town looks more like a war zone.
John and Babette Johnson were on their way to San Antonio to catch a flight and were crossing the Guadalupe Bridge in Kerrville, Texas.

“We've heard from quite a friends and they say it's just awful,” John said. “One of the ladies I worked with, all teachers, you know, most part said it's very depressing, Another teacher I talked to said, the town of Hunt is gone and halfway Ingram is gone, and Kerville itself has been damaged severely also.”
The Johnsons feel fortunate their home is far enough away from the river, and they have no damage.
We've heard from the neighbors, our home's doing fine,” John said.
John Johnson plans on working with his church to help people and will know more when he gets to Kerrville how others can help.
