More than a week after deadly floods struck Central Texas, search and rescue teams are continuing to probe debris for those still missing.
Search and rescue efforts continue Tuesday as crews look for the dozens still missing from the July Fourth floods that devastated the Kerr County area. On Tuesday, Kerr County said that 107 people are confirmed dead in the county.
Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly, the county’s top official, said during a county commissioners court meeting earlier Monday that local officials don’t know the exact number of how many visitors who traveled to the Guadalupe for the holiday weekend had been caught in the flood.
At least 161 are still unaccounted for after the July Fourth floods that saw the waters of the Guadalupe rise to historic levels in Central Texas, officials with Kerr County said Friday. Authorities have confirmed 106 deaths, 36 of whom are children.
Crews continue searching for victims a day after Gov. Greg Abbott said as many as 161 people could still be missing.
