161 people still missing in Texas floods, as death toll passes 100

Texas officials said Tuesday that 161 people remain missing in Kerr County following the deadly Fourth of July flooding, as they pledged to find every person.The big picture: A massive recovery effort continues in Kerr County, about an hour's drive northwest of San Antonio.The latest: Gov. Greg Abbott said that 94 people died as a result of catastrophic flooding along the Guadalupe River last Friday, and another 15 people died in flooding elsewhere in Texas, bringing the death toll to at least 109.Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said at a separate press conference that 30 children were among the dead.Five girls and a counselor from Camp Mystic remain missing, the officials said. State of play: Hundreds of rescuers are still searching for bodies. State authorities have rescued 444 people so far.Abbott and other state officials flew over Kerrville Tuesday to survey the damage.Catch up quick: The flooding happened early Friday. Meteorologists say forecasting models struggled to pinpoint where and when the heaviest rain would fall, and there is no warning system in Kerr County. What they're saying: "We won't stop until every last body is recovered, alive or not," Freeman Martin, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said at an afternoon press conference. There are 258 DPS personnel working in Kerrville, he added.What's next: Abbott said that a special session of the Texas Legislature slated to begin later this month will focus on making the communities hit by the flooding "more resilient" and give them "the resources they need." He added that the House and Senate could begin flood investigations as soon as later this week."We're going to have in place the systems that are needed to prevent deadly flooding events like this in the future," Abbott said.
