The Kerr County Commissioners Court held a session today, July 14, to address the concerns of the county residents following the fatal flash flooding that devastated Kerr County and several other counties in the Texas Hill Country along the Guadalupe River.

Climate scientists and weather experts are clear: the deadly floods in Texas earlier this month were an entirely natural tragedy, with off-the-charts rainfall levels coming from lingering moisture from a nearby tropical storm feeding off a steamy Gulf of America.

With 101 people still missing after the July 4 flash flood, the focus turns to local lakes, and what may be buried in them.

Organizers say a planned candlelight vigil scheduled for this evening in Hunt for victims of the flood has been cancelled due to the threat of more rain in the area. The heaviest rain has now moved southeast along a line from Hondo to San Antonio to Austin.

A "Basic Plan" for emergency response for three Texas counties labeled flash flooding as having a "major" impact on public safety, according to a page on a city website.

In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.

The death toll in Kerr County, Texas climbed above 100 Friday night as recovery operations continued in the county on a day when President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump toured the damage left behind by July 4 flash flooding.

Over 130 people have died after heavy rain pounded Kerr County, Texas, early Friday, leading to "catastrophic" flooding, the sheriff said.
