School buses and trucks filled with rescued people drove into a reunification center in Ingram, Texas, on Friday as families reunited with their children from the nearby girls’ and boys’ camps.
Search efforts remain underway for the over 20 people who remain unaccounted for from Camp Mystic, with helicopters, rescue boats and other units searching the surrounding areas.
At Ingram Elementary, families embraced as people lined up around the building and others loaded into a military-style high water vehicle, CNN’s Ed Lavandera reports from Ingram.
Some of the children appeared to be emotionally shaken and were heard telling their parents, “I just want to go home,” Lavandera reports.
“Here is a truck full of people who are being brought into this area,” Lavandera reports. “This is working essentially as a reunification center. Many of the children who are being brought out of Camp Mystic and the young girls are reunited with their parents and families here.”
Some helicopters were seen landing and dropping off campers at the reunification center as yellow school buses arrived, video footage shows.
Lavandera’s team spoke with one parent at the scene waiting to reunite with his 10-and-8-year-old daughters.
