The death toll from the Flash floods, which impressed Central Texas on Friday, has now risen to more than 100 people, and an unknown number is missing.
The search and rescue teams go through the dirty coast of the rivers, as more rain and thunderstorms threaten the region, but hope has faded to find more survivors four days after the catastrophe.
The mystic camp, the summer camp of Christians, confirmed at least 27 girls and employees among the dead. Ten girls and camp advisor were still missing.
Meanwhile, the White House has rejected the proposals that the budget reduction in the National Weather Service (NWS) could interfere with the catastrophe.
At least 84 victims – 56 adults and 28 children – died in the Cer, where on Friday, the fourth state holiday, the Gadalupe River was scoring.
About 22 adults and 10 children have not yet been identified, the district said.
Camp mystik said in a statement on Monday: “Our hearts crashed with our families who tolerate this incredible tragedy.”
Richard Eastland, 70 years old, co -owner and director of Camp Mystic, died trying to save children, reports the American state state Austin.
Local pastor Del Wei, who knows the Istland family, said the BBC: “The whole community will miss him (Mr. Eastland). He died.”
In its latest NWS forecast predicted slower thunderstorms, which would potentially lead more flood outbreaks to the region.
Trump’s critics have sought to link the catastrophe with thousands of job cuts in the parent NWS agency, the national ocean and atmospheric administration.
The NWS office, which is responsible for forecasting in the region, had five employees when on Thursday evening thunderstorms that were brewed over Texas, the usual amount of the night when the weather is expected.
White House press secretary Carolyn Levit rejected attempts to blame the president.
“It was an act of God,” she said at a daily briefing on Monday.
“It is not the guilt of the administration that the floods suffered when it was, but there were early and consistent warnings, and again, the national weather service did its job.”
She outlined that the NWS office in Austin-Sana Antonio was briefing for local officials the day before the flood and sent on this day after the flood before issuing numerous flood warnings on the night and on July 4.
Trump, which is expected to visit Texas at the end of this week, pushed away when on Sunday asked if the federal government on the catastrophe was cut, and initially appeared to be guilty to what he called “Biden’s setting”, citing his democratic predecessor.
“But I wouldn’t blame Biden either,” he added. “I would just say it’s a 100-year disaster.”
Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Republican, said at a press conference on Monday that it was not the time for a “guerrilla guerrilla finger”.
One of the local companies, Nicole Wilson, has a petition calling for the creation of a flood sirens in Ker – something on the spot in other counties.
Such a system was discussed in the Keri district for almost ten years, but it has never been allocated for it.
On Monday, Texas Lt Gov Dan Patrick admitted that such sirens could save their lives and said they should be in place until next summer.
Meanwhile, condolences continued to pour from all over the world.
King Charles III wrote to President Trump to express his “deep sadness” about the catastrophic flood.
The king “offered his deep condolence” to those who lost his loved ones, said the British Embassy in Washington.
