Texas flood effects – in pictures
Below are some of the latest pictures that come out of Texas after the destroyed floods forced the authorities to launch one of the largest research and rescue efforts in the history of the modern state:
What was the federal response to Texas floods?
US President Donald Trump The deadly floods were addressed on Saturday. On the social truth platform, he said that his administration was working with government and local officials on the ground in Texas to respond to the “tragic floods” that occurred one day ago.
Our internal security secretary, Christie sleep, There will be soon.
Speaking at a press conference alongside Texas Greg Abbott on Saturday, sleep pledged that the Trump administration would use all available resources to help the state in rescue efforts, including by bringing more fixed aircraft and helicopters to help operations.
She said that the government will make the priority of the national weather service promotion used to provide warnings.
Naim said:
We know that everyone wants more warning time, and for this reason we are working to upgrade the technology that has been neglected for a very long time to make sure that families have the largest possible amount of prior notification.
As for the context: some government and local officials said that NWS failed to provide accurate expectations before the destroyed floods on Friday.
“The original expectations that we received on Wednesday from the national weather service from 3-6 inches in Wadi Konchao and 4 to 8 inches in Hill Contesty.” “The amount of rain that fell on this specified site was not in any of these expectations.”
father Blair13, and Brook Harper11, He confirmed to CNN Yesterday that his daughters died in the floods of Texas after being lost in the province of Kiir.
He told RJ Harber CNN that Blair “was a talented student and had a nice heart” and that Brock “was like a light in any room, where people were attracted to it and made them laugh and enjoy the moment.”
Blair or Brook was not in mystic camp when they disappeared.
Questions arose about the reason for the interface of the flood in the middle of the night on the fourth of July, surprising many officials.
Here is an excerpt from a story by my colleagues, Oliver Milmanand Jose Olivares and Robert Makki, who discussed preparations for flood and examining how federal policy may affect local projection capabilities:
The officials defended their preparations for the harsh weather and their response, but they said that they did not expect such intense heavy rains that were in fact the equivalent of the most famous rain in the region.
Kid, from the Texas Emergency Management Department, said that one of the expected national weather services (NWS) has called this week to only 3-6 inches (76-152 mm) of rain.
“He did not predict the amount of rain we saw,” he said.
The death of Saturday renewed questions about whether it was wise for the Trump administration to implement the deep discounts in NWS – among other federal government agencies – since its second presidency began in January.
Camp Mestic, a camp for Christian girls, a century -old, had 700 girls at the time of the flood, according to Texas Dan Patrick Lieutenant.
Early on Friday morning, shortly after the flood hit, more than 100 gaming guards and access to the camp tried to the camp, but they were unable to enter to start saving children even after midday, according to CNN reports.
One of the girls who attend the camp, RENE SMAJSTRLA, who was nine years old, was confirmed by her uncle.
“René has been found, and although the result that we prayed, communication with social media is likely to help the first respondents help to get to know it quickly,” Sean Salta. books On Facebook. “We are grateful because she was with her friends and spending her life time.”
Camp Mestic said in an email to the camp fathers that if they are not contacted directly, their child has been calculated.
Another girls camp in the area, Heart, hillsShe said on her website that the co -owner, Jin Ragsdel, had died in the flood, but there were no camps as it was between the sessions.
