Caption: Texas Flood Disaster Claims Over 100 Lives as Search Efforts Continue. The death toll from last Friday’s devastating flash floods in central Texas has risen to over 100, with dozens still unaccounted for. Rescue teams are navigating treacherous terrain along the Guadalupe River as renewed storms hamper search efforts and hopes for finding survivors begin to fade. One of the hardest-hit locations was Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp for girls, which confirmed that 27 children and staff are among the dead. Ten girls and a camp counsellor remain missing. Kerr County recorded the highest number of fatalities, 84 in total, including 28 children. Many victims have yet to be formally identified. The White House has pushed back against claims that recent budget cuts to the National Weather Service hindered the emergency response. As recovery efforts continue, communities across the region are grappling with the scale of the tragedy on what was meant to be a day of national celebration. f Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
