Flash floods in Texas have resulted in over 100 deaths and left more than 160 people missing. Many missing individuals were not registered at camps or hotels in the Hill Country. Efforts are focused on recovering victims, with local officials emphasizing the priority of bringing people home rather than reviewing response times or monitoring issues. As of four days post-flooding, hope for finding survivors has diminished. Governor Abbott confirmed federal support, including a visit from President Trump and a public health emergency declaration from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
More than 160 people are believed to be missing in Texas in the aftermath of the flash floods that killed more than 100 over the July Fourth weekend.
Abbott said of Trump: "He could not stop talking about how sad he was for all the little girls who have lost their lives."
Hope of finding survivors was increasingly bleak. Four days have passed since anyone was found alive in the aftermath of the floods in Kerr County.
Leaders in Kerr County, where searchers have found 87 bodies, said their first priority is recovering victims, not reviewing what happened in the hours before the flash floods.
