At least 161 people are known to be missing in Kerr County, Texas, following the catastrophic flooding this past weekend, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said at a news conference Tuesday.
The governor also confirmed 109 fatalities linked to the floods, including 94 in Kerr County and 15 in other parts of Texas.
There are far more fatalities than there were in Hurricane Harvey. That’s how catastrophic this is,” Abbott said at the news conference.https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5391041-missing-dead-after-texas-floods-abbott/
