At least 120 people have been killed and more than 173 are still missing as Texas officials deflect questions about the state’s response to the catastrophic flash flooding.
Kerr County remains at the center of the disaster after the Guadalupe River burst its banks on Friday, with 36 children among the 96 dead, officials said. At least 161 others were still missing in the region Thursday, and no rescues have been made since the day of the flooding.
Among those killed were 27 young girls and staff members at Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp situated on the bank of the Guadalupe River. Five campers and one 19-year-old counsellor remained missing Thursday morning.
Several of the cabins were built on “extremely hazardous” floodways where water moves at its highest velocity and depth, according to any analysis by The New York Times.
Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha says officials are “in the process” of assembling a timeline of the actions local officials took ahead of the floods.
