TEXAS: The death toll from flash floods that devastated central Texas on Friday has risen to over 100, with many more still missing.

Rescue teams continue searching through mud and debris despite fading hope of finding survivors amid ongoing rain and thunderstorms.

At least 27 girls and staff from Camp Mystic, a Christian all-girls summer camp, are confirmed dead, with 10 girls and a counselor still missing. Richard Eastland, co-owner of the camp, died heroically trying to save children.

Kerr County suffered the most losses, with 84 fatalities, including 28 children. Many victims remain unidentified. Authorities warn of further flash flooding due to forecasted storms.

The White House denied that budget cuts to the National Weather Service (NWS) hindered disaster response, stressing early warnings were issued.

President Trump described the floods as a “100-year catastrophe,” while Texas Senator Ted Cruz called for unity, rejecting partisan blame.

Local calls for flood sirens in Kerr County, long debated but unfunded, have intensified. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pledged sirens will be installed by next summer.

Condolences poured in worldwide, including from King Charles III, who sent a message of sympathy to President Trump and flood victims.
