00:00
The death toll from the July 4th flash floods that swept through Central Texas Hill Country
00:07
has risen to at least 109, with many of the victims being children.
00:12
Search teams are continuing to comb through thick mud and debris for scores still missing.
00:17
The worst hit area was Kerr County and its seat, Kerrville, a town of 25,000
00:24
that was left in ruins after torrential rains triggered deadly floods along the Guadalupe River early last Friday.
00:32
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said on Tuesday that 94 bodies have been recovered in Kerr County alone.
00:38
The numbers that I have is that there are 94 fatalities,
00:46
94 fatalities associated with this flooding event in this area,
00:52
separate from that in other flooding events in other parts of the state of Texas,
00:58
there's another 15 fatalities for a total of 109.
01:03
To put this into perspective, just in the Kerr and Kendall counties alone,
01:10
there are far more fatalities than there were in Hurricane Harvey.
01:15
That's how catastrophic this is.
01:17
161 people are still unaccounted for in the flood zone.
01:21
Governor Abbott took an aerial tour surveying damage that was left behind in Kerr County.
01:26
As of midday Tuesday, 15 other flood-related deaths were confirmed in surrounding parts of Texas Hill Country.
01:33
Rescue efforts hampered by ongoing thunderstorms and heavy showers
01:38
have been joined by teams from federal agencies, neighboring states, and even Mexico.
01:44
Governor Abbott went on in 2003 by Barrador Steel.
