STORY: Drone footage filmed on Saturday (July 5) showed partially submerged houses and an intense current on a swollen river in Georgetown, Texas following heavier-than-forecast rain which has triggered flash floods in central parts of the U.S. state.

A number of evacuation orders were issued for mobile home parks and apartments in Georgetown, with local authorities also saying staff, cats and dogs at an animal shelter had to be relocated from the facility.

At least 43 people, including 15 children, have been confirmed dead following floods across Texas, authorities said on Saturday as rescuers continued a frantic search for dozens more campers, vacationers and residents who were still missing.

Reuters was able to confirm the location of the video from the buildings, road layout, river, bridge, trees, and structures seen in the video, which matched file and satellite imagery of the area. Reuters was able to confirm the date of the videos from the source, original file metadata, and several weather reports.
