Search and rescue efforts continue in Central Texas where, since Friday, flash flooding has left at least 78 people dead. Survivors of the disaster say the dramatic rise of the Guadalupe River came as a surprise.
Most of the victims are from Kerr County, where children’s summer camps are popular. Eleven children attending a girls’ summer camp are missing.
President Trump said on Truth Social he has signed a disaster declaration to give more resources to Kerr County, Texas, in the wake of the flooding.
“These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing,” he wrote.
