‘We’re not going to let a thing like this happen again where it can wreak this kind of devastation’
President Donald Trump said his administration will take “historic action” to prevent another devastation like the Texas flash flooding, which has claimed more than 120 lives, including dozens of children.
Scores of other victims remain missing and unaccounted for, local officials say.
“We’re going to look and see how something can happen like this,” Trump said at roundtable Friday. “They could say it’s 100-year; somebody said it’s a 500-year event. We’re not going to let a thing like this happen again where it can wreak this kind of devastation.”
Trump traveled to Kerr County, Texas, to survey the damage, meet with first responders and local officials, and visit with families who lost children.
