The flood in Hunt, Texas claimed over 100 lives, with 160 still missing. Search efforts continue amid scrutiny over missing warning systems. Camp Mystic, a central figure in the tragedy, highlights the community's pressing need for better disaster preparedness.

Texas Flooding Claims Over 100 Lives, 160 Still Missing

Hunt, Texas, witnessed a catastrophic flood, claiming over 100 lives with 160 missing. The extensive search efforts face scrutiny over missing warning systems.

Devastating Texas Flood Leaves Over 100 Dead and 160 Missing

A devastating flood in Texas resulted in over 100 deaths and left 160 missing. Extensive search efforts are underway. The lack of a warning system has triggered scrutiny.

As the intensive search operation continued in Texas on Wednesday, officials were still striving to account for over 160 individuals reportedly missing following a catastrophic wall of water that claimed more than 100 lives. With the full scope of the disaster yet to be fully unveiled, authorities cautioned that additional victims might emerge from the extensive heaps of debris covering miles.
"Know this: We will not stop until every missing person is accounted for. Know this also: There very likely could be more added to that list," declared Gov. Greg Abbott during a Tuesday news conference. Abbott mentioned efforts to gather information regarding those who were in the state's Hill Country over the Fourth of July holiday but didn't register at camps or hotels and might have been in the area without many being aware of their presence.
The lowlands of Kerr County, along the Guadalupe River and the primary recovery site, are teeming with youth camps, including the historic Camp Mystic, a century-old all-girls Christian summer camp where at least 27 campers and counselors lost their lives.
Authorities reported on Tuesday that five campers and a counselor remain unaccounted for. The extensive search operation, one of the largest in Texas history, includes crews in helicopters, airboats, and horseback, joined by hundreds of volunteers.
The flash flood represents the deadliest inland flooding in the US since Colorado's Big Thompson Canyon flood on July 31, 1976, which resulted in 144 fatalities, according to Bob Henson, a meteorologist with Yale Climate Connections. That perilous event occurred during a holiday weekend in a canyon filled with people celebrating Colorado's centennial.
Public officials responsible for locating victims are confronting escalating questions regarding their responsibility for monitoring weather conditions and issuing warnings as floodwaters rapidly approached camps and homes.
Governor Abbott reiterated a commitment to exhaustive search efforts, vowing not to relent until all victims are found and noting President Trump&rsquo;s pledge to supply any necessary relief for Texas&rsquo; recovery efforts. President Trump is scheduled to visit the state on Friday.
Scenes of Devastation at Camp Mystic - Outside the cabins at Camp Mystic, once bustling with youthful laughter, now lay mud-streaked blankets and pillows on a grassy slope leading to the river. In the debris littering the site are pink, purple, and blue luggage adorned with stickers.
Among the tragic casualties were a second grader fond of pink sparkles and bows, a 19-year-old counselor passionate about guiding young girls, and the camp's 75-year-old director.
The floods erupted before daybreak last Friday, as torrential rains surged water into the Guadalupe River, causing it to rise 26 feet (8 meters) in less than an hour. Campers escaped through cabin windows or clung to ropes to reach higher ground.
Just 48 hours before the deluge, Texas inspectors had approved the camp&rsquo;s emergency preparedness. Yet, inspection reports over the past five years accessed by The Associated Press yielded scant details on evacuation instructions or the specific responsibilities of each staff member and counselor.
While attributing a singular weather event directly to climate change is complex, experts highlight that rising atmospheric and oceanic temperatures increase the likelihood of severe storms.
Where Were the Warnings? - Inquiry into local officials' actions&mdash;or lack thereof&mdash;during the flood gained momentum, particularly their failure to alert campers and residents in the scenic locale ominously dubbed &ldquo;flash flood alley.&rdquo;
Kerr County&rsquo;s leaders, where 90 bodies have been discovered, asserted that recovering victims remains the foremost priority over scrutinizing pre-flood actions.
Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly, the chief elected official, acknowledged the absence of a warning system, despite historical flood tragedies in the area. A 1987 flood had necessitated the evacuation of a youth camp in Comfort, where ten teenagers perished.
Discussions about a warning system have persisted for years, and Kerr County's request for a nearly USD 1 million grant for one was denied by FEMA, compounded by local reluctance to self-fund its establishment, Kelly said.
Recovery and Cleanup Continues - Of the bodies recovered, 30 were children from Camp Mystic and nearby camps, the sheriff revealed. The flood's impact stretched over hundreds of miles in central Texas, reaching near Austin.
Aidan Duncan narrowly escaped after hearing evacuations alerted by a megaphone at Ingram&rsquo;s Riverside RV Park. His belongings&mdash;including a mattress, sports cards, and his pet parakeet&rsquo;s birdcage&mdash;now sit coated in mud outside his home.
"What's going on right now, it hurts," said the 17-year-old, visibly emotional. "I literally cried so hard." (AP)

Over 100 people, including 27 girls and counselors at a youth camp, have died in devastating Texas floods. With more rain forecast, rescue and recovery efforts intensify amid rising questions over warning systems and climate change impact.

Texas flood toll passes 100 as more bodies recovered

Over 100 people, including 27 girls and counselors at a youth camp, have died in devastating Texas floods. With more rain forecast, rescue and recovery efforts intensify amid rising questions over warning systems and climate change impact.

The death toll from catastrophic flooding in Texas rose to more than 100 on Monday, as rescuers continued their grim search for people swept away by torrents of water.
Among the dead were at least 27 girls and counselors who were staying at a youth summer camp on a river when disaster struck over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
Forecasters have warned of more flooding as rain falls on saturated ground, complicating recovery efforts involving helicopters, boats, dogs and some 1,750 personnel.
"There is still a threat of heavy rain with the potential to cause flooding," Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in a statement Monday, with the number of victims expected to rise still.
President Donald Trump confirmed he planned to visit Texas on Friday, as the White House slammed critics claiming his cuts to weather agencies had weakened warning systems.
"Blaming President Trump for these floods is a depraved lie, and it serves no purpose during this time of national mourning," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Monday.
She said the National Weather Service, which The New York Times reported had several key roles in Texas unfilled before the floods, issued "timely and precise forecasts and warnings."
Trump has described the floods that struck in the early hours of Friday as a "100-year catastrophe" that "nobody expected."
The president, who previously said disaster relief should be handled at the state level, has signed a major disaster declaration, activating fresh federal funds and freeing up resources.
 - 'Tragedy' -
At least 104 flood-related deaths were reported across central Texas.
Kerr County, through which the Guadalupe River runs, was the hardest hit, with at least 84 people killed including 28 children, according to the local sheriff's office.
The toll includes 27 who had been staying at Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian camp that was housing about 750 people when the floodwaters struck.
Camps are a beloved tradition in the long US summer holidays, with children often staying in woods, parks and other rural areas.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz described them as a chance to make "lifetime friends -- and then suddenly it turns to tragedy."
But some residents were questioning the absence of more robust flood-warning systems in this region of south and central Texas -- where such deluges are so frequent that it is known colloquially as "Flash Flood Alley."
Experts stress the NWS sent out timely forecasts, and climate scientist Daniel Swain pinned the problem on a failure of "warning dissemination."
San Antonio mother Nicole Wilson -- who almost sent her daughters to Camp Mystic -- launched a petition on Change.org urging Governor Greg Abbott to approve a modern warning network.
"Five minutes of that siren going off could have saved every single one of those children," she told AFP.
At a candlelight vigil in San Antonio on Monday night, Texans gathered to pray for the victims of the floods and voice lingering fears.
"I was pretty shocked on the gravity of the situation and how big it was, and I wouldn't necessarily expect that our rivers would rise so quickly," said Rebeca Gutierrez, 29.
"Hopefully there's preventative efforts happening in similar areas to make sure nothing to this degree happens."
 - Two-story building -
In a terrifying display of nature's power, the rain-swollen waters of the Guadalupe River reached treetops and the roofs of cabins as girls at the camp slept.
Blankets, teddy bears and other belongings were caked in mud. Windows in the cabins were shattered, apparently by the force of the water.
Volunteers were helping search through debris from the river, with some motivated by personal connections to the victims.
"We're helping the parents of two of the missing children," Louis Deppe, 62, told AFP. "The last message they got was 'We're being washed away,' and the phone went dead."
Months' worth of rain fell in a matter of hours on Thursday night into Friday, and rain has continued in bouts since then.
The Guadalupe surged around 26 feet (eight meters) -- more than a two-story building -- in just 45 minutes.
Flash floods occur when the ground is unable to absorb torrential rainfall.
Human-driven climate change has made extreme weather events such as floods, droughts and heat waves more frequent and more intense in recent years.

In Texas, 2 people were shot dead, and 6 injured, including 2 children during the Juneteenth celebration. As per reports, an altercation broke out between two groups and someone started shooting. 

Texas shooting: 2 killed, 6 injured during Juneteenth celebration

In Texas, 2 people were shot dead, and 6 injured, including 2 children during the Juneteenth celebration. As per reports, an altercation broke out between two groups and someone started shooting.&nbsp;

A weekend shooting in a Texas park left two people dead and six wounded, including two children, authorities said.
The victims were shot shortly before 11 pm Saturday during a Juneteenth celebration at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, about 19 miles (30 kilometres) north of Austin.
An altercation began between two groups during a concert at the event and someone started shooting, Round Rock Police Chief Allen Banks said during a news conference at the scene.
The two victims who were pronounced dead at the scene were not involved in the argument, Allen said.
The shooting occurred near a vendor area away from the stage set up for the concert, Allen said.
Police officers and fire department personnel present at the event immediately began providing emergency medical care to the wounded, who were then taken to hospitals, Allen said.
Six people &mdash; four adults and two children &mdash; were taken to local trauma facilities, all with potentially serious injuries, according to a post on X by Austin-Travis County EMS.
Police said Sunday they did not have a suspect in custody and investigators did not know how many shooters were involved.
&ldquo;It breaks your heart for a family that was coming out to enjoy their evening and now their life is forever changed as a result of somebody who could care less about somebody else's life,&rdquo; Allen said.

The fire is now five times the size it was when it began on February 26.&nbsp;

A fast-moving wildfire burning through the Texas Panhandle has grown into the second-largest blaze in state history.
The fire is forcing evacuations and triggering power outages as firefighters struggle to contain the widening flames.
The blazes tore through sparsely populated counties on the vast, high plains that are punctuated by cattle ranches and oil rigs.
The main fire, known as the Smoke House Creek Fire, had grown to more than half the size of the state of Rhode Island and is five times the size it was on Monday when it began.
As the evacuation orders mounted Tuesday, county and city officials implored residents to turn on emergency alert services on their cellphones and be ready to evacuate immediately. According to local emergency officials an unknown number of homes and other structures in the county were damaged or destroyed.
The Pantex plant, northeast of Amarillo, evacuated nonessential staff Tuesday night out of an &ldquo;abundance of caution,&rdquo; said Laef Pendergraft, a spokesperson for National Nuclear Security Administration&rsquo;s Production Office at Pantex. Firefighters remained in case of an emergency.
The plant, long the main U.S. site for both assembling and disassembling atomic bombs, completed its last new bomb in 1991 and has dismantled thousands since.
Pantex tweeted early Wednesday that the facility &ldquo;is open for normal day shift operations&rdquo; and that all personnel were to report for duty according to their assigned schedule.
The largest of the fires has grown to nearly 800 square miles. Authorities said it jumped into parts of neighboring Oklahoma and remained completely uncontained as dawn broke Wednesday.

'Muslims love Jesus', 'Mary wore hijab': billboards 'explaining' Islam crop up in many US cities

The billboards are reportedly being put up by a non-profit organisation called GainPeace.

Large billboards proclaiming similarities between the religions of Islam and Christianity have been erected in several places across the United States of America.
One such banner in Texas' Houston has the message "Muslims love Jesus" and "his message of one God and his prophethood". Another billboard depicts Jesus' mother Mary wearing a hijab. It has the caption, "Blessed Mary wore the hijab. Will you respect it?"
One shows a picture of the Kaaba, a building in Saudi Arabia that Muslims consider the holiest site in Islam, with the message, "Built by Abraham, dedicated to worship one God, annual pilgrimage by millions of Muslims."
The billboards are reportedly being put up by a non-profit organisation called GainPeace, which says that its main goal is spreading awareness about Islam, and clarifying any doubts or misconceptions they may hold. It chose to put billboards in cities where the organisation has a strong presence and a significant Muslim population.
According to Pew Research, the Muslim population in the US has grown in the two decades since September 11, 2001, when the country witnessed a spike in racist crimes in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

5.4-magnitude earthquake hits US oil region in west Texas

A quake of similar magnitude struck West Texas last month. That Nov. 16 temblor was measured at 5.3 and had an epicenter about 95 miles (153 kilometers) west of Midland.&nbsp;

One of the strongest earthquakes in Texas history struck Friday evening in a western region of the state that's home to oil and fracking activity. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the temblor had a magnitude of 5.4 and struck at 5:35 p.m., local time. It was centered about 14 miles (22 kilometers) north-northwest of Midland, with a depth of about 5.6 miles (9 kilometers).
The service had previously issued a preliminary magnitude of 5.3 before updating it. In the interim, the National Weather Services office in Midland tweeted that it &ldquo;would be the 4th strongest earthquake in Texas state history!&rdquo; Geophysicist Jana Pursley at the USGS's National Earthquake Information Center in Colorado said that according to early reports received by the agency, the quake was felt by more than 1,500 people over a large distance from Amarillo and Abilene in Texas to as far west as Carlsbad, New Mexico.

&ldquo;It's a sizable earthquake for that region," Pursley said, adding, &ldquo;In that region such an event will be felt for a couple of hundred miles.&rdquo; The quake was followed shortly after by a less-intense aftershock, and Pursley said there could be more going forward with declining magnitude.

It was unclear how many people were on board the aircraft or if anyone on the ground was hurt.

Two historic military planes collided and crashed to the ground Saturday during an air show in Dallas, exploding into a ball of flames and sending plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky. It was unclear how many people were on board the aircraft or if anyone on the ground was hurt.
Leah Block, a spokesperson for Commemorative Air Force, which produced the Veterans Day weekend show and owned the crashed aircraft, told ABC News she believed there were five crew members on the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber and one aboard the P-63 Kingcobra fighter plane. The Houston-based aircraft were not giving rides to paying customers at the time, she said.
Emergency crews raced to the crash scene at the Dallas Executive Airport, about 16 kilometers from the city's downtown. Live TV news footage from the scene showed people setting up orange cones around the crumpled wreckage of the bomber, which was in a grassy area.
The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and a Bell P-63 Kingcobra collided and crashed around 1.20 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The collision occurred during the Commemorative Air Force Wings Over Dallas show.

A group of police officers in the United States are facing investigation after a video showing one of them slamming a student onto a lunch table surfaced.  The incident occurred Wednesay in a school in Irving, Texas. 
A Facebook user posted the clip, captioning it, 'Smh, this is how these cops are doing these kids now in days'. The clip shows a scuffle underway between students as the police intervenes. One of the officers then proceeds to grab the collar of a boy and slam him onto a metal table. The boy gets back up however the officer who had left the frame returns and pushes the boy down. 
The reason for the scuffle is unknown other than that the students started fighting in the school's lunch line and the assigned officers intervened. A statement from the Irving police department says, 'The Irving officers used force to separate the students.' 
 'The Irving Police Department reviews every use of force to ensure policies and procedures are appropriately applied," the press note read. "We have seen video clips from this fight shared on social media and an internal investigation has begun,' it added.

A drive-by shooting in Texas killed two youths and left a toddler injured in a residential area of Fort Worth. Police probe for suspects continues. 
The shooting happened shortly after 2 pm on Sunday when a vehicle pulled up outside the home where a group was gathered in the front yard and a shooter or shooters opened fire, Fort Worth Police Chief Neil Noakes said.
The 17-year-old and 5-year-old males were pronounced dead at a hospital, he said. An 18-month-old had minor injuries and was expected to survive.
Noakes asked anyone with information or video to contact police and said authorities would use “every resource necessary” to find those responsible.
“That 17-year-old will never graduate, that 5-year-old will never graduate from kindergarten, that 18-month-old will have physical and emotional scars that may stay with him the rest of his life,” he said. 
Gun violence in the US has become a regular phenomenon. There have been protests in the past against this rampant gun-induced crime rate.
US President Joe Biden in July signed a landmark gun-control bill into law in the wake of increasing gun violence.

Indian-American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has urged the Dallas police to prosecute to the full extent of law a woman seen harassing and assaulting four Indian descent women in Texas last week.
"Such bigoted attacks motivated by racism, xenophobia, and other forms of hate victimise not only those directly targeted by them, but also broader communities through creating an atmosphere of fear and danger," Krishnamoorthi said.
Esmeralda Upton from Plano in Texas was arrested for the racially-motivated physical and verbal assault of the four women at a parking lot last Wednesday.
Upton identifies herself in the video as a Mexican-American.
"I hate you Indian. All these Indians come to America because they want a better life," she is seen saying in the video.
The video shows her telling the group of women to "go back to India".
"You… people are ruining this country," she says in the video which has now gone viral, sending shockwaves among the Indian-American community across the United States.
"I'm appalled by the footage of the hate-motivated harassment and assault on four women of Indian descent and urge police to prosecute the woman responsible to the full extent of the law," the Indian-American Congressman said in a statement. "As our country continues to combat the surge in anti-Asian hate since the beginning of the pandemic, I urge all Americans to come together and prove that our country and our people are better than this," he said.
In a separate statement, representatives of Indian-American organisations in New England on Sunday strongly condemn the recent act of anti-Asian violence in Plano, Texas.
"We are very disturbed by this and recently increased acts of violence and hate crimes against Indians, South Asians, and Asian Americans in general. We do commend the Plano Police department for responding to the incident with urgency and understanding," they said.
Asian-Americans, like all other immigrants, have made significant contributions to this great land despite facing ongoing prejudice based on accents, colour, religion, or perceptions of leadership or other abilities, they said.
"We believe in the fair treatment of all human beings regardless of age, education level, race, ethnicity, gender expression and identity, nationality, national origin, creed, accent, physical and mental ability, political and religious stance, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, socioeconomic status, veteran status, profession, or any other human differences,” the organisations said.
"We unequivocally and unapologetically condemn the divisive forces of hate, inequity, and injustice. We stand united in love and peace and stand against racist, discriminatory, violent acts against any community," they said.
