US President Donald Trump visited flood-stricken central Texas, where devastating flash floods have claimed the lives of at least 120 people, including 36 children, and left over 170 others missing. During his visit, he praised both state and federal authorities for their response efforts, describing their work as “incredible.”
President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump traveled to the Hill Country region of central Texas to meet with first responders, families of victims, and local officials, one week after a rain-swollen river devastated the area - sweeping away homes, cabins, vehicles, and residents.
“This is a tough one. I’ve never seen anything like this,” Trump said at a roundtable meeting in Kerrville, in the worst-affected Kerr County.
“I’ve gone to a lot of hurricanes, a lot of tornadoes. I’ve never seen anything like this. This is a bad one.”
Prior to the roundtable, Trump, and First Lady, conducted an aerial survey and boarded a helicopter to Kerrville to see the flooding aftermath from the air particularly along the Guadalupe River, which forecasters say surged by more than 20 feet in hours.
