The catastrophic floods in Texas have resulted in a death toll of 82, with at least 41 individuals still missing. Search efforts are ongoing, particularly in Kerr County, where many victims were connected to Camp Mystic, a girl’s summer camp. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has assured that these efforts will continue, especially with more heavy rain forecasted. The floods were triggered by the Guadalupe River overflowing due to torrential rains. Numerous officials express concern over the inadequacy of warnings that could have mitigated the disaster's impact.
The death toll from the catastrophic floods that hit the state of Texas has risen to 82, as the search for the missing continues and officials face questions over a failure to evacuate people in hard-hit Kerr County.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that at least 41 people remain unaccounted for across the southern state and that more could be missing.
Sheriff Larry Leitha said on Sunday that searchers have found the bodies of 68 people, including 28 children, many of whom went missing from Camp Mystic.
The flooding occurred after the nearby Guadalupe River broke its banks after torrential rain fell in the central Texas area on Friday.
