Latest figures as search continues: Over 120 dead, 160 missingpublished at 20:47 British Summer Time 11 July
As we wait for President Trump’s arrival for the roundtable, here’s the latest update from local law enforcement and Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The death toll from the flood stands at more than 120.
Kerr County, which includes Kerrville, absorbed the brunt of the devastation, with 95 confirmed deaths, including 36 children, many of whom attended Camp Mystic.
There are still 160 missing, mostly from Kerr County, and an intense search for them continues involving more than 2,000 volunteers and authorities.
Kerr County officials say they have not rescued anyone alive since the day of the floods, and teams with cadaver dogs are being sent out to recover bodies.
Beyond local emergency teams, Abbott said the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, border patrol, the National Guard and others are using their resources in the recovery process.
Volunteers who live in the region are searching the Guadalupe River and surrounding areas, wading through wreckage of cars and homes, and digging through hazardous, muddy debris to find the dead.
