Scores drowned in Texas flash floods
Flash floods hit Texas and kill at least 78 people, while continuing for dozens of people, rescue teams are struggling with more rain.
The US search teams crossed the mud -loaded river coast and flew to the flood view on the fourth day of the search for survivors after the flash floods on Friday.
Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said that most of the dead was in the town of Texas Kerrville Kerrville.
The Guadalupe River passing through Kerrville, severe torrential downpour before the dawn was turned into a violent torrent in less than one hour on Friday.
The camp said that there were 27 campers and consultants at the Camp Mystic Summer Camp, where the dead were the withdrawal of a century -old Christian girls on the banks of the Guadalupe River.
Sunday in the afternoon of the state officials, four neighboring South-Middle Texas district of 10 floods have been confirmed and 41 people are still listed beyond Kerr County, he said.
Freeman Martin, Director of Texas Public Security Department, predicted that the death fee would increase as the flood waters retreated and gained acceleration.
Authorities also warned that even if it is lighter than the flood of Friday, the ongoing rainfall can reveal additional flash floods because the landscape is very saturated.
National Weather Service, heavy rainfall and storms may cause more water raids in the region on Monday, he said.
The state emergency management officials warned that some parts of Central Texas were facing heavy shower and flash floods before the fourth July holiday on Thursday.
However, twice as expected, twice the rain said that Guadalupe fell into two branches just above the fork they got closer, and sent all these water races to the only river channel from Kerrville.
Search and rescue operations continue at any time of the day and hundreds of emergency staff are fighting numerous difficulties.
“There is hot, mud, debris, they are moving, snakes.”
Authorities said in a statement on Saturday, about 140 km northwest of San Antonio, a sudden storm in the region up to 38 centimeters after raining, some of them were rescued more than 850 people sticking to the trees, he said.
The Ministry of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency was activated on Sunday, and President Donald Trump said that he used resources to Texas after publishing a major disaster declaration.
The US coastal security helicopters and planes helped to search and rescue efforts.
Trump said he would probably visit the disaster scene this Friday.
Previously, the federal government has summarized the plans of reducing the role of responding to natural disasters, and the states have left the burden themselves more shoulder.
Some experts questioned whether there were deductions on the federal labor force by the Trump administration, including the agency that controls the National Weather Service, and that the authorities did not correct the severity of the floods and did not give suitable warnings in front of the storm.
Trump’s management, the National Weather Service, the main agency of the National Ocean and the Atmospheric Administration of thousands of business deductions, and many air offices have been insufficient, he said.
