USA – The current Texas flooding death toll has risen to 82 as of Sunday, which includes 68 deaths in Kerr County, 6 in Travis County, 3 in Burnet County, 1 in Tom Green County, and 2 each in Kendall and Williamson counties. 28 among the dead are children.
Airborne rescue teams in Texas have been working nonstop since the deadly floods to search for survivors in the Hill Country region, one person involved in the effort told CNN.
Earlier Sunday, President Donald Trump said he plans to visit Texas later this week.
“Probably on Friday. We wanted to leave a little time. I would’ve done it today, but we’d just be in their way – probably Friday,” he told reporters in Morristown, New Jersey.
Ahead of his announcement of a potential visit, Trump said he signed a major disaster declaration for Kerr County “to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need.”
