The Texas flooding tragedy claims 70 lives, including 21 children. FEMA response underway.
Sadly, the death toll from the devastating floods in Texas continues to rise. It’s now at seventy casualties.
FEMA has been sent to Texas, which may or may not be good news, as FEMA infamously withheld or seized aid for hurricane victims last year in the southeast. Hopefully entirely new management is in charge now for this flood disaster relief initiative, so that FEMA helps instead of augmenting the problem.
At least 21 children are among the casualties of the flooding in Texas, according to Sheriff Larry Leitha and ABC News. At least rescue efforts saved hundreds of people, but the bereaved family and friends of the victims need prayers. It is unclear how many homes have been destroyed.
As of 10:26 a.m. on Sunday, ABC News provided the following update.
By far the greatest number of fatalities occurred in Kerr County, where 59 people are believed to be dead, according to officials, including 21 children.
