Texas Floods: The death toll in the devastating flash floods in the US State of Texas has reached 78, while 41 are missing as of Sunday (local time). The deceased include 28 children, with the most from Kerr County, as per reports.
The death toll in the Texas floods is expected to rise as more storms are expected in the next 24-48 hours in the region, potentially impeding rescue operations as workers are already facing venomous snakes as they work through mud and debris.
Moreover, US President Donald Trump said he would “probably" visit the flood-stricken state on Friday. “This is a 100-year catastrophe and it is just so horrible to watch," he told reporters. “I would have done it today, but we’d just be in their way."
