WASHINGTON (AP) — The Fourth of July is about all things American: parades, cookouts, cold beer and of course, fireworks. Those pyrotechnics remain at the center of Independence Day, a holiday 247 years in the making. Massive fireworks lit up the skyline of multiple American cities, marking festivities across the country.

The Fourth of July is a celebration of all things American with parades, backyard barbecues and the night sky lit up with fireworks.

No children were at a summer camp near Kerrville when it was overtaken by flooding, but the camp is now temporarily closed, an email stated.

If you do not know where your camper is, call 830-258-1111 and say the name of your missing person and you will be directed to a shelter.

Authorities said at least 24 people have died in flooding around Kerr County, Texas, and officials are still performing water rescues.
