Governor Greg Abbott said that at least 161 people are still missing in the province of Texas, four days after the deadly and destroyed floods were injured in parts of the state last week.
The missing people in Kiir Solid County include five of the camp and one consultant from the Mystic camp, a Christian summer camp, all-girls located on the banks of the Guadalupe River.
Abbott said at a press conference on Tuesday that at least 109 people died in a disaster, including 94 in the Kurville region alone.
Texas is not alone. New Mexico has also witnessed a Flash flooding state, with NWS warning of severe floods on Tuesday night.
In Texas, feverish search and rescue efforts continue, as the Abbott emergency sets will not stop until everyone is calculated. ”
Abbott added that it is very likely to be more missing to the list in the coming days, and urged people to report any person who believes are imperceptible.
Gen. Thomas Swilezer of the National Guard in Texas said that search efforts include Xinoc and Black Hawk helicopters with rescue cranes.
He said that there are 13 Black Hawk helicopters to help in the search voltage, including four Arkansas. He added that the authorities were also using Riber drones.
The respondents from various agencies work together on rescue efforts, including agents from the borders of the Federal Investigation and the National Guard.
More than 250 respondents from various agencies in the Kerrville region were appointed alone to help search and rescue.
One of the rescue volunteers, named Tim, told BBC that he had not seen any destruction of this scale before.
“The floods in East Texas and Southeast Texas, hurricanes, have done a nightmare,” he said.
Another rescue volunteer, named Justin, compared efforts to “try to find one straw in a straw pile.”
“There is a wide path of destruction of miles, and there is not enough bodies to go beyond all of this,” he told the BBC.
“It is difficult to reach a lot of heavy machines. Men try to choose them with tools and hands, and they do not even put no effort.”
Questions were raised about whether the authorities had made sufficient warnings of the pre -disaster floods, and why people were not evacuated earlier.
Experts say that there are a number of factors that contributed to the tragedy in Texas, including harsh weather, home and timing location.
The ruler, who spent part of the day in surveying the flood area, said that the authorities issued a warning from the storm and knew about a possible flash, but “he did not know the size of the storm.”
He said that no one knows that he would lead to “a 30 -foot tsunami.”
The ruler answered a question about who was “blame” on the huge number of dead, saying: “This is the choice of the word losers.”
He likened an athlete, saying that American football teams are making mistakes; The hero’s teams are the ones who do not “direct fingers”.
Most of the victims died in the province of Kiir, where the Guadalobi River was swollen due to heavy rains before Friday, the fourth year in July.
Camp Mestic earlier confirmed at least 27 girls and employees among the dead.
Those who survived now focus on trying to rebuild.
Justin Brown lived along the Guadalpe River for more than 25 years.
A week ago, he lived in his mobile home in the Blue Oak RV park with his young daughters and dog. Now, there is a huge pool where his house was once stood – RV was swept in floods.
“We were one of the few gardens that took almost everyone,” Brown told the BBC.
He said he looked at the empty part where he stood his home – now just a wreck – he said he hoped to return as soon as possible.
President Donald Trump will travel to the areas that the floods pushed with the first lady Melania Trump on Friday.
Separately, in New Mexico, NWS declared a Flash Flash Flash Emergency Case on Tuesday and ordered Ridoso residents to be at a state of maximum alert for floods.
Officials there are already working to save people trapped in flood water, and the houses are said to be washed away.
The flood wave on Rio Ridoso reached 15 feet (4.5 meters), NWS said in Bokirk in a post on X.
The water fell about two hours later, according to CBS, the American PBC partner.
Officials were forced to perform some of the fast boats rescue and some people were not calculated from Tuesday evening.
