Until now, 78 deaths have been found after the flood disaster in the US state of Texas. The worst hit is the Kerr district, where 68 were fatalities, including 28 children. 41 people would continue to miss, the governor of Texas Greg Abbott described. We are looking for ten of the missing girls from a summer camp.
Hundreds of rescue workers were in action. Frenainians also desperately searched for well -known or unknown victims and survivors on the water and on the river banks. One of the volunteers reported that he found one of the girls from the summer camp dead in a tree. “We want to help the family members complete it,” he says deeply. “That’s why we are here.”
The case also influenced the case of a missing young woman who wanted to spend the holiday weekend together with friends in the country and an SMS with the words early on Friday morning early on Friday morning, “we are being washed away” and have not been reached since then.
Texas’ Vicegouur Dan Patrick reported to the Omroep FOX News of a holiday camp supervisor who hit the window of a hut so that girls could go into their pajamas and swim for their lives: “These little girls swam ten or 15 minutes. In the dark and the hard tree trunks, you can imagine that?” Patrick described. After all, the children would have reached dry land.
Central cuts under Trump
US President Donald Trump accused the previous government to be responsible for failures of disaster management: the flow of waterfalls and its consequences is a “century disaster” that nobody expected. When asked why the people in the region in which many camped in the United States on this long holiday weekend were not previously warned and evacuated and evacuated, the Republican referred to the democratic government of his predecessor Joe Biden. “It wasn’t our organization,” he said.
Since Trump took office in January, funds for the NWS National Weather Service and the Climate Aviation Noaa have been reduced and numerous scientists have been released. Since municipal representatives of the affected provinces in Texas complained that they were not warned about the water mass, there was criticism of these measures. Trump said on Sunday that he would not stop the rejected meteorologists at the authorities. “We can talk later about his plans to dissolve the National Civil Protection Authority Fema,” he explained.
Trump had previously provided federal funds with regard to the catastrophe in Texas. He also announced that he will probably travel to the affected areas on Friday. In addition to the 68 dead in Kerr, at least ten bodies were found in the adjacent provinces. The authorities expected other fatalities.
Warning for other thunderstorms
While the authorities started to clean up on Sunday in some places, the weather service warned of thunderstorms that could cause further floods.
The water level of the river Guadalupe rose by eight meters within 45 minutes. The floods on the American national holiday were activated by heavy rainfall of a maximum of 300 liters per square meter-one third of the average annual rainfall in the Kerr.
Climate change has a problem driven
Fall floods are not uncommon in the region that is hit by the current catastrophe in the center and south of Texas, it is known as a “Flash Flood Alley” (Fall Flood Corridor). Such sudden floods arise when the soil cannot absorb violent rainfall. According to scientists, however, climate change means that extreme weather conditions such as floods, droughts and heat waves seem increasingly violent than in the past.
