Floods in the state of Texas have once again brought people back to the breaking news feed, reports aa.com. According to official information, the number of deaths in Kerr County due to heavy rains and the flooding of the Guadalupe River has reached 104. Local authorities note that the number of victims has risen sharply in recent days, especially after July 4.

Kerr County has been marked as the hardest-hit area: it was here that 84 people, including 28 children, became victims of the flood. At present, about 50,000 people remain in the disaster zone, and search and rescue operations are ongoing.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated on social media that all necessary resources have been mobilized and that every effort is being made to eliminate the consequences of the disaster. US President Donald Trump officially declared Kerr County a disaster area.

Meanwhile, local Republican politicians have severely criticized the federal National Weather Service (NWS). They claim that the service's budget was cut during the Trump administration and that timely and accurate forecasts and warnings were not provided before the natural disaster struck.

According to experts, significant demographic pressure and infrastructure deficiencies have further aggravated the consequences of the flood.
