President Donald Trump is visiting Texas on Friday to assess catastrophic flooding that has killed at least 120 people.

Republican Governor Greg Abbott has repeatedly praised the Trump administration for its response to the tragedy

Ex-FEMA officials say it’s unclear how the response differs from FEMA’s typical role in disasters, which is to support states through coordination and funding.

KERRVILLE, Texas — Shock has turned into grief across Texas where at least 120 people died from flash floods and more were missing as the search for victims moved methodically along endless miles of rivers and rubble Thursday.

Over 100 people have died after heavy rain pounded Kerr County, Texas, early Friday, leading to "catastrophic" flooding, the sheriff said.

Nearly a week after deadly floods struck Central Texas, search and rescue teams are continuing to probe debris for those still missing.

Kerr County repeatedly failed to secure a warning system, even as local officials remained aware of the risks and as billions of dollars were available for similar projects.

Kerr County officials gave an update following the devastating and deadly flooding over the July 4th weekend in Central Texas.

Heavy equipment is tearing through massive debris piles in Kerr County as the search for the missing continues.
