Over 100 dead: details about the devastating flood in Texas

The most significant destruction occurred in Kerr County, where the Guadalupe River overflowed due to heavy rains. At least 84 people have been confirmed dead, including 56 adults and 28 children.

According to the county sheriff's office, the identities of 22 adults and 10 children remain unknown.

A separate tragedy occurred at the Christian girls' summer camp “Mystic”. The camp's administration confirmed that at least 27 girls and staff lost their lives due to the floods. Ten more girls and one camp counselor are still considered missing.

Meteorologists, according to CNN, reported that central Texas experienced a month's worth of rainfall in just a few hours. In Hunt County, approximately 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) of rain fell in three hours, a phenomenon that occurs once every 100 years.

Search and rescue teams continue their operations, but hope of finding survivors is gradually fading.

To address the aftermath of the natural disaster, 1,750 personnel and over 975 vehicles have been deployed.

The White House dismissed suggestions that budget cuts to the National Weather Service (NWS) could have hindered timely disaster response.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt stated that the NWS offices in Austin and San Antonio held briefings for local officials ahead of the flood. Additionally, a flood alert was sent out that day, along with numerous warnings that night and before dawn on July 4th.
