What Happened:

Families from across the state, including North Texas, stayed at HTR RV Park and Blue Oak RV Park along the Guadalupe River for the Fourth of July.

On Friday morning, floodwaters washed away several RVs that were lined up near the shoreline.

Videos show the RVs bobbing in the floodwaters before being taken down the river.

Concrete slabs, which once held cabins were lifted up and moved by the floodwaters.

The owner of the park says people staying closer to the river did not have time to leave.

Family members tell FOX 4 Joni and Robert Brake of Burleson were staying at the RV park and are still missing.

Those family members made the trip to Kerr County in an attempt to get more information.

Also missing from the campground, James and Cindy Rushing from Sulphur Springs.

James and Cindy Rushing from Sulphur Springs were among many staying a campground in the Texas Hill Country when devastating flash floods happened on Independence Day.

Their family tells FOX 4 that they were last at HTR Campgrounds.

Search and recovery crews are working up and down the river in an attempt to find any of the missing.

What they're saying:

"They tried to get to them so hard, but there was no way. There way no way. At that point, the water was up a good 20 feet, and the lower lever campers right there were already floating away," said Lorean Guillen, the owner of the RV Park.
