WIMBERLEY, Texas (AP) -- Hays County Commissioner Will Conley says some of the 30 people who are unaccounted for due to the significant flooding along the Blanco River in Central Texas may be staying somewhere else.

Conley said Tuesday at a news conference eight of those missing were in a vacation home that was swept down the rain-swollen river and slammed into a bridge early Monday.

Conley also says 70 homes were destroyed and 1,400 homes and properties have some type of damage after this weekend's torrential rains.

Hays County is southwest of Austin.
