Who are the three people still missing after the Texas floods?
KVUE in Austin reported that the search is ongoing for Cile Steward, who is 8 years old and is the last camper missing from Camp Mystic. In addition, Jeff Ramsey's family from Lewisville confirmed on Tuesday that he is still missing as well. Eric Steele, brother-in-law of Ramsey shared, "He hasn't been found yet. So we're doing as good as we can be with what's going on. I don't understand how there's one or two or even three. I mean there's definitely more than that."
Ramsey acted as a hero for his family as he called up his family, alerting them about the rising water levels while he and his wife, Tanya, were in a cabin opposite the HTR camp along the Guadalupe River. While Tanya's body was recovered several days later, the search for Ramsey's body continues.
His ex-wife, Claire Traweek Ramsey, shared with WFAA, "It's just terrible for my children, it's terrible for my children, the not knowing. We are a family of faith and we have prayed and prayed and prayed." The Ramsey family is set to organise a memorial service for him and Tanya, regardless of whether he is found or not, next week.
Claire added, 'We want people still looking for him. He's still missing. We want them looking. We want them to know that he's still missing.' A GoFundMe page has also been set up by the family to help Ramsey's adult children with expenses related to travel, funeral, and miscellaneous activities.
As confirmed by the Joint Information Center in Kerrville to WFAA, the two people who are missing are Cile Steward and Jeff Ramsey. The third person unaccounted for is Michael Phillips, who is missing in Burnet County.

Uncle Quek Elevates Singapores Hawker Classics for Hong Kong Diners
(Bloomberg) -- As Singaporean expats here can attest, life in Hong Kong is a cycle of hope and disappointment when it comes to seeking out the flavors of our homeland. So when I heard that chef Barry Quek of Whey fame had opened a new, casual eatery where hawker classics like bak chor mee and hae mee would be offered, I made a reservation at Uncle Quek faster than one can say: 'Singaporean bak kut teh is better than Malaysian bak kut teh.' The bad news first: Uncle Quek's bak kut teh, the pork rib soup that's beloved in the region, is closer to the Malaysian style. That is, the soup is more herbal rather the peppery — a choice the chef told us was made for Hong Kongers' sensitive palates. Fortunately, everything else is fantastic, with a lineup that nails the original flavors of traditional dishes while elevating them beyond street food with richer and higher-quality ingredients. While its mission is mostly to faithfully recreate Singaporean classics, the few experimental touches speak to an exciting, Whey-like energy in the kitchen. The cereal fried chicken is a sweet-and-crunchy nod to the cereal prawn, and the lobster laksa is a decadent take that infuses a touch of lobster bisque into an already indulgent dish (and luckily hasn't had its flavors tamed for local palates). I was, however, disappointed there were no dessert options on the menu, which only underscores how quickly the restaurant won my trust. Uncle Quek is run by chef Elvin Lam, a Barry Quek protégé who told us that he was conscious of its price point, which is slightly above other lunch options around Lyndhurst Terrace. We spent HK$798 ($102) on a heavy dinner for two. The eighth floor location also won't benefit from any walk-in traffic. So consider this a plea from Singaporeans in Hong Kong who have mourned the demise of Bibi & Baba in Wan Chai and even the Toast Box locations on Hong Kong Island: Let's help Uncle Quek stay alive. The vibe: Uncle Quek's minimalist, honey-colored wood interior is pretty much exactly like the other restaurants in the same group, which include Whey and Korean-French fusion restaurant Sol in the same building. The open kitchen and concrete flooring underscore its status as one of the group's most casual, affordable eateries. Can you conduct a meeting here? Not if there are spirited diners near you, as the acoustics of the space tend to magnify noise. Who's next to you: I heard Singaporean (or Malaysian) accents around me, of course, and the other diners were mostly casually dressed young couples or groups of friends — quite a different vibe from the sleek party crowd downstairs. What we'd order again: The lobster laksa (HK$248) is quite the star, though the uninitiated may want to split a portion given its richness and spiciness. The chefs also nailed the wet-but-not-soupy noodle texture and flavors in the hokkien mee (HK$188), a stir-fried noodle dish, and bak chor mee (HK$168), noodles with minced pork. While the 'wok hei' charred flavor of true Singaporean street food was missing, I'm grading on a curve given the restaurant's induction hobs. The achar salad (HK$55) was deliciously tart and nutty — the complexity illustrating its superiority among spicy Asian salads. And it might be worth ordering the bak kut teh (HK$68) just for the perfectly fried dough fritters that it comes with — and fine, that Malaysian herbal flavor does go well with its Zinfandel (HK$88). Need to know: Uncle Quek is on the sixth floor of 8 Lyndhurst Terrace and is open from noon to 9 p.m. every day except Sunday, when it is closed. Reservations need to be made via a finicky website and are hard to manage or cancel, which I've been told they're working to fix.
