The catastrophic Central Texas floods have claimed at least 121 lives and left 173 missing, as a report reveals that Kerr County officials were repeatedly denied state funding for an emergency flood warning system.
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.
A week after catastrophic floods tore across the Texas Hill Country, authorities and volunteers on the ground Friday are searching for over 160 missing people as residents in hard-hit areas mourn the dead. While it's not certain that Trump will give a speech, he's scheduled to appear in Kerrville, Texas, at 11:30 a.m. CT.
