US President Donald Trump said to the residents of Texas that the government would help to reconstruct after killing 120 people after the government was hit last week.
On Friday, President and First Lady Melania Trump met with local authorities standing in front of a raised tractor trailer and investigated the damage.
Im I haven’t seen anything like this, Tr Trump said after he went on a tour of demolition.
Currently, more than 12,300 volunteers have been gathered to help 161 people who are lost throughout the state. Authorities, volunteers work 10 hours a day, he said.
Trump said that at a round table meeting in the afternoon, the authorities and the first lady were in the city to express “love and support and the pain of our entire nation”.
Normally, the first Lady, holding a low profile, joined the demolition tour. During his visit, he said that the victims hugged their families and prayed.
He said, “My deepest sympathy for all parents who lost beautiful young souls.” “We are upset with you. Our nation is upset with you.”
He also promised to visit again.
Following the deadly tragedy, questions about whether sufficient warnings were provided and why some were not evacuated in front of the flood came up.
“Only a bad person would ask such a question,” Trump replied, when he arrived on Friday, it was easy to sit back and wonder what might happen.
The levels of the Guadalupe river, which sank the houses, roads and cars, surprised many of them.
The disaster that emerged last Friday before Daybreak increased 26FT (8m) in just 45 minutes. The young children and staff in the summer camps along the river were asleep as the air warnings decreased.
The search teams in Texas are still going through the wreck for the scores of missing people. The authorities said they would not have mercy until everyone was announced.
Experts, pre -dawn timing, some houses and excessive weather conditions, including tragic floods, including a series of factors, he said.
