The de.ath toll from the catastrophic Texas floods has risen to at least 82, with dozens more people missing and the number of those k!lled only expected to rise as the Lone Star State sifts through the wreckage
Governor Greg Abbott and local officials confirmed the tragic rising de.ath toll Sunday.
That number is now nearly double the casualties reported Saturday night.
At least 68 are de.ad at the flooding’s epicenter in Kerr County, while 12 more were k!lled in other counties, according to officials.
The confirmed de.ath in Kerr were 40 adults and 28 children.
Search efforts have been hampered by the physical destruction wrought when the Guadalupe River overflowed its banks during torrential rains Thursday night into Friday, with trees and other debris still littered across the countryside.
So far there have been 525 rescue operations across the state, with 366 being conducted by air.
