BREAKING: Texas Flood Crisis Just Took a Darker Turn…See more

The full scale of Texas’ catastrophic flash flooding continues to grow more tragic. On Tuesday, Governor Greg Abbott confirmed that the number of missing people has surged to 161 — quadrupling overnight from the previously reported 40 — while the death toll has reached 109, surpassing the devastation of Hurricane Harvey.

“We will not stop until every missing person is accounted for,” Abbott told reporters after surveying the damage by helicopter. He emphasized that the updated number includes those reported unaccounted for by friends, neighbors, and relatives, and warned the figure could still rise.

Camp Mystic and Kerr County at Epicenter

The hardest-hit area remains Kerr County, where 87 deaths have been recorded, including 27 victims from Camp Mystic — a beloved all-girls Christian summer camp. Five girls are still missing from the site, which was overwhelmed by a wall of water after the Guadalupe River surged more than 30 feet above normal levels on July 4.

“It’s like nothing we’ve ever seen,” one first responder said. Entire communities have been left in ruins, with overturned trucks, snapped trees, and shattered homes littering the region.

Leadership Under Scrutiny

When asked during a press conference about accountability for the deadly delay in flood alerts, Governor Abbott pushed back: “The word choice of losers is to ask, ‘Who’s to blame?’ We’re focused on saving lives. We’ve got this.”
