Nearly a week after deadly floods struck Central Texas, search and rescue teams are continuing to probe debris for those still missing.

During his first weekend back in the White House, Trump again visited North Carolina to scope out Helene damage and toured the aftermath of devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. But he also used those trips to sharply criticize the Biden administration and California officials.

More than 111 people have died across six counties after flash flooding from heavy rain began affecting the state last week.

Texas officials face questions over who monitored weather and warned of floodwaters heading toward camps and homes.

A Kerrville-area river authority executed a contract for a flood warning system that would have been used to help with emergency response, local officials said.

KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Over the last decade, an array of Texas state and local agencies missed opportunities to fund a flood warning system intended to avert a disaster like the one that killed dozens of young campers and scores of others in Kerr County on the Fourth of July.

Volunteers combing through debris piles from the devastating Central Texas flooding had to sniff out decaying bodies in the “chaotic” initial days of the search-and-rescue efforts.

Kerr County repeatedly failed to secure a warning system, even as local officials remained aware of the risks and as billions of dollars were available for similar projects.
