Texas Floods Kill 82, Trump’s Visit Likely Amid Search for Missing Girls

Texas floods 2025: The death toll from the catastrophic floods that hit Texas has risen to 82 as the search for the missing continues and officials are being asked why they didn’t evacuate people in hard hit Kerr County.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said on Sunday at least 41 people are unaccounted for across the state, three days after the flood and more could be missing.

The devastation along the Guadalupe River outside of San Antonio has drawn a massive search effort as officials are being asked about their preparedness and the speed of their initial response.

Here’s what you need to know about the deadly flooding, the massive weather system that caused it in and around Kerr County, Texas and the ongoing efforts to identify victims.

Big rain at the wrong time in the wrong place The floods got worst at the middle of a long holiday weekend when most people were asleep.

Airborne rescue teams in Texas have been working around the clock since the deadly floods on July 4 to search the Hill Country for survivors, said one person involved in the effort.

"This is 100-year catastrophe, and it's just so horrible to watch," Trump said, adding that he would visit "probably on Friday."

In Kerr County, where Camp Mystic and other youth camps are located in the Texas Hill Country, 68 bodies have been found including 28 children, said Sheriff Larry Leitha Sunday afternoon.

He said they will keep searching until “everybody is found” from Friday’s flash floods. 10 other deaths were reported in Travis, Burnet, Kendall, Tom Green and Williamson counties, according to local officials. The death toll will rise over the next few days, said Col. Freeman Martin of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The governor warned of more heavy rain through Tuesday that could produce life threatening flooding in already saturated areas. As he spoke at a news conference in Austin, emergency alerts went out to phones in Kerr County warning of “High confidence of river flooding” and a loudspeaker near Camp Mystic told people to leave. Minutes later authorities on the scene said there was no danger.

"You will see the death toll rise today," warned Texas public safety chief Freeman Martin at a press conference.

"Across the state, in all the areas affected by flooding, there are 41 known missing," Texas Governor Greg Abbott said.

As questions grew about why warnings didn’t come sooner or people weren’t evacuated earlier in the area popular with campers, Trump said it was a “Biden setup.”

"That was not our setup," Mr. Trump told reporters on Sunday, adding that he would "not" hire back meteorologists when probed about staff and budget cuts at the National Weather Service (NWS).

Asked about whether he would change his plans to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency, he responded: "FEMA is something we can talk about later."

Mr. Trump, who previously said disaster relief should be handled at the state-level, also signed a major disaster declaration that freed up resources for Texas.

Trump who previously said disaster relief should be handled at the state level also signed a major disaster declaration for Texas.The Texas Hill Country is flood prone because the dirt packed areas where the soil lets the rain run off the surface of the land instead of soaking it in. Friday’s flash floods started with a bad storm that dropped most of its 12 inches of rain in the middle of the night.

After a flood watch notice midday Thursday, the National Weather Service office issued an urgent warning around 4 a.m. that raised the potential of catastrophic damage and a severe threat to human life. By at least 5:20 a.m., some in the Kerrville City area say water levels were getting alarmingly high. The massive rain flowing down hills sent rushing water into the Guadalupe River, causing it to rise 26 feet (8 meters) in just 45 minutes.
