At least 109 people have died and 161 remain missing in Kerr County, Texas, four days after catastrophic flash floods hit the state. Most victims were from Camp Mystic and nearby areas along the Guadalupe River. Governor Greg Abbott confirmed the ongoing search using helicopters, drones, and over 250 emergency personnel. Volunteers described the devastation as “a nightmare,” while questions mount over early flood warnings. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania will visit affected areas Friday. Meanwhile, New Mexico faces its own emergency, with houses in Ruidoso washed away and swift water rescues underway following a 15-foot flood wave. (PC: BBC)
