‘Catastrophic’ independence Day flood claims 27 lives in Texas

The Independence Day flood in Kerr County, Texas, led to the deaths of at least 27 people, according to Governor Greg Abbott. 

While nearly 240 people were rescued, at least 23 girls are still missing from a riverside camp near Hunt, Texas. 

The slowly moving storm threatens further flooding in Hill Country areas to the northeast.

Governor Abbott described the flood as a “mass casualty event during a press conference Friday night in Kerrville, Texas. The governor signed an emergency disaster declaration requesting assistance from the federal government.

“This is a time when we, as a state, need God more than ever,” Abbott said in the storm update. “The one thing I hear the most are the prayers that are being sent for those who are in harm’s way. 

There is an extraordinary collaboration to make sure that we address everybody’s concern as quickly as possible. As part of this, I am signing a disaster declaration to ensure counties have access to every tool, strategy, and personnel that the State of Texas can provide to them, which will be limitless.”
