Officials said volunteers have been working 10 hours a day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><figcaption class=\"sc-536eff7b-0 FPsqq\">Watch: BBC&#8217;s Nomia Iqbal on Trump&#8217;s handling of the Texas floods as he visits disaster area<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<div data-component=\"text-block\" class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 dEGcKf\">\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Trump told officials at an afternoon roundtable that he and the first lady were in town to &#8220;express the love and support, and the anguish of our entire nation&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">The first lady, who ordinarily keeps a low profile, joined the tour of the devastation. She said she hugged and prayed with families of the victims during her visit. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">&#8220;My deepest sympathy to all of the parents who lost beautiful young souls,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We are grieving with you.

Young children and staff at summer camps along the river were asleep as weather alerts went off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Search crews in Texas are still sifting through debris for scores of missing people. Authorities have said they will not relent until everyone is accounted for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Experts have said there were a number of factors that led to the tragic floods in, including the pre-dawn timing, the location of some homes and the extreme weather.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><figcaption class=\"sc-536eff7b-0 FPsqq\">Watch: &#8220;We&#8217;re appreciative&#8221; &#8211; Texans react to Trump&#8217;s visit after devastating floods<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nomia Iqbal BBC News Reporting fromKerr County, Texas Watch: &#8216;We&#8217;re filled with grief&#8217; &#8211; President Trump visits Texas after deadly floods US President Donald Trump reassured residents of Kerrville, Texas,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[354,6198,4021,6505,3288,6504,1096,30],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
