Texas special session called to address flood warning failures and emergency response after Hill Country flooding caused more than 100 deaths.

According to local authorities, at least 109 people died on July 4 and 5, most of which were swept up in floodwaters from campgrounds along the Guadalupe River. That’s just shy of the 118 deaths reported as a result of Hurricane Rita in 2005.

The death toll from the devastating Texas floods has risen to over 110 people and at least 173 remain missing. Former NOAA Administrator Richard Spinrad joins Ana Cabrera to break down the timeline of the flood alerts and to provide more insight on response.

Texas has identified more than $50 billion in flood control needs, but lawmakers have devoted just $1.4 billion to address them

The search for missing bodies continues along Texas’ Guadalupe River after catastrophic and deadly flooding killed at least 111 people following a torrential downpour Thursday evening into early Friday.
