At least 82 people are dead after heavy rain led to "catastrophic" flooding in Texas. Kerr County was hit the hardest, with at least 75 deaths, including 27 children. President Donald Trump signed a disaster declaration for the county and the Federal Emergency Management Agency is on the ground there.

Emergency responders continue to search for missing people and local police said efforts have been slowed by "sightseers who are making things worse."

A county sheriff in 2016 recalled how he pulled “kids out of trees” in summer camps as leaders debated a siren system for years.
