In Kerr County, Trump was greeted by Gov. Greg Abbott, who on Friday announced the federal government updated Trump's disaster declaration to include more counties. Abbott said the move "will provide critical assistance to Texans and communities impacted by the devastating flooding."

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump visited Central Texas Friday to survey the devastation wrought by last week's deadly flooding.

Emergency responders continue to search for missing people and local police said efforts have been slowed by "sightseers who are making things worse."

Meanwhile, anguished parents waited for word on the 10 young campers still missing from Camp Mystic, which was hit hard by floodwaters.

"The first lady and I are here in Texas to express the love and support and the anguish of our entire nation in the aftermath of this really horrific and deadly flood," Trump said as he spoke at a roundtable event with first responders and local officials.
