The number of people who lost their lives in the floods caused by heavy rainfall in the state of Texas, USA, has risen to 27.
THE DEATH TOLL IN THE TEXAS FLOOD DISASTER HAS RISE TO 27
Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha stated that search efforts are ongoing following the flood disaster that caused significant loss of life and property in the state, revealing that 27 people, including 9 children, have lost their lives in the floods. Leitha mentioned that more than 160 people have been assisted through aerial intervention today, and a total of 850 people, including 8 injured, have been rescued.
Authorities reported that the exact number of missing persons is not yet clear, providing information that 23 to 25 people are still missing from the children's summer camp Camp Mystic.
US President Donald Trump shared on his Truth Social account, "The Trump administration is working with state and local officials in Texas in response to the tragic flood disaster that occurred yesterday. Our Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, will be there shortly."
"THEY MISINTERPRETED THE WEATHER"
Meanwhile, Texas officials have filed a complaint against the National Weather Service (NWS) for providing incorrect and incomplete information regarding the weather forecast. In videos shared on social media, a Texas official attributed the lack of adequate measures for the disaster to the NWS's failure to make accurate predictions.
The official stated that the NWS announced a forecast of 10 to 20 centimeters of rainfall in the area, which did not align with the expectations of other meteorological experts.
President Trump had also made cuts to the NWS budget as part of efforts to reduce government spending and save costs.
On the other hand, it was reported that 3 people lost their lives when a tree fell on their vehicles during heavy rain and storms in the state of New Jersey, USA, the day before.
