TEXAS, JUL 8 – More than 100 people died in Central Texas floods over the July Fourth weekend, with over 800 high-water rescues completed, officials said.

  • President Donald Trump confirmed he will visit Central Texas on Friday following deadly flash floods that killed at least 100 people over the weekend.
  • The floods occurred after torrential rains along the Guadalupe River, which rose 25 feet in 45 minutes, causing rapid and catastrophic damage to communities.
  • Over 800 rescues have been conducted in the floodwaters, while dozens remain unaccounted for, among them ten girls from a summer camp where more than twenty-five campers and counselors lost their lives.
  • Trump signed a disaster declaration on Sunday to free federal funds for relief, and the White House denied claims blaming him for the floods as a "depraved lie."
  • The visit aims to support first responders and grieving communities, while members of the Texas delegation call for federal oversight of FEMA and the flood response efforts.
