In Texas, the search is ongoing for over 160 people missing after a devastating flash flood that resulted in more than 100 fatalities. Gov. Greg Abbott emphasized that every effort will be made to account for all missing individuals, predicting that additional names may be added to the list. The flood heavily impacted the Kerr County area, particularly youth camps like Camp Mystic where multiple victims were found. This incident is recognized as the worst inland flooding disaster in the U.S. since 1976, drawing attention to concerns over flood warning protocols.
As the search in Texas continued for more than 160 people believed to be missing days after a destructive wall of water killed over 100 people, the full extent of the catastrophe had yet to be revealed as officials warned that unaccounted victims could still be found amid the massive piles of debris that stretch for miles.
Gov. Greg Abbott stated, 'Know this: We will not stop until every missing person is accounted for. Know this also: There very likely could be more added to that list.'
The lowlands of Kerr County along the Guadalupe River, where most of the victims of the flash flooding have been recovered so far, are filled with youth camps and campgrounds, including Camp Mystic, where at least 27 campers and counselors died.
The flash flood is the deadliest from inland flooding in the U.S. since Colorado's Big Thompson Canyon flood on July 31, 1976, which killed 144 people.
