Hunt, Texas –
More than 160 people remain unaccounted for after devastating floods in Texas, the state governor said Tuesday, marking a dramatic increase in the number of missing from a tragedy that has so far claimed 109 lives.
Four days after flash floods roared through several Texas counties, some in the middle of the night, hopes of finding survivors were fading — and Governor Greg Abbott warned that the list of those unaccounted for could rise further as the grim search continues.
“Just in the Kerr County area alone, there are 161 people who are known to be missing,” he told reporters.
