Searching for victims of Texas flood enter the third day, with more rain predictions

The search for missing children from a summer camp for girls, which was sudden floods in Texas, entered a third day on Sunday, when the rescuers faced a threat to more floods and the number of dead in the region reached at least 59.

Local officials submitted an update on Sunday morning, as search and rescue teams raced to find 11 missing girls from a camp near the Guadalobi River, which broke its banks after the heavy rains in central Texas on Friday, the American Independence Day holiday.

The death toll rose from 43 to 59 in the last update of officials in Kiir County Sunday, with 38 adults and 21 children who were found dead. Care County Sherif Larry La Betha said eleven of the camp are still missing, as well as one camp consultant.

“We are expanding the morals of condolences and prayers for every one family affected by this tragedy, and we continue to work around the clock and we bring these families.” “We will continue our search efforts until everyone is found.”

Officials said more than 850 people, including some clinging to trees, were rescued after a sudden storm was thrown up to 38 cm of rain via Texas Hill Control, about 140 km northwest of San Antonio. It was not clear that the number of people in the area was still missing.

Some experts questioned whether the discounts in the federal workforce by the Trump administration, including the agency that supervises the national weather service, led to the failure of officials to accurately predict the floods and issue appropriate warnings before the storm.

Many weather offices in employees

Former Director of NOAA Rick Spinrad said that US President Donald Trump and his administration supervised thousands of work at the National Parents Agency for National Service for National Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, leaving many weather offices.

He said that he does not know whether these employees were established in the absence of a prior warning of Texas’s extremist floods, but he said that they will inevitably lead to the deterioration of the agency’s ability to provide precise predictions and time.

US Secretary of Homeland Security Christie Naim, who oversees Noaa, said that the “moderate” flood watch issued on Thursday by the National Weather Service did not accurately expect extreme rains and said that the Trump administration is working to upgrade the regime.

More rain was expected in the area on Sunday. The National Weather Service has released a flood watch for the CARE province, the center of the disaster, until one o’clock in the afternoon local time.

The disaster was quickly revealed on Friday morning, as it led the heavier rain from the stock exchange to the river water at a speed of nine meters.

The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, a Republican, told a press conference on Saturday that he asked Trump to sign a disaster declaration, which would open federal assistance to the affected people. Naim said that Trump will honor this request.

Trump has already made plans to expand the role of the federal government in responding to natural disasters, leaving states to bear more.

The lost girls were from Sufi camp The summer camp, a camp for Christian girls, a century -old, which had 700 girls at the time of the flood.

A day after hitting the disaster, the camp was a scene of destruction. Inside one cabin, the clay lines that indicate the height of the water had increased at least 1.83 meters from the ground. Bed tires, mattresses and personal property were scattered inside. Some buildings had broken the windows, and one of them had a missing wall.
