In the wake of last week's catastrophic floods in central Texas, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump made their way to Kerrville to survey the damage firsthand. After a tragic loss of 120 lives, many residents remain missing, with over 12,300 volunteers tirelessly searching for the 161 people unaccounted for. President Trump expressed his sorrow saying, "I've never seen anything like it," while highlighting the nation's solidarity during this difficult time.
During the visit, Melania Trump connected with grieving families, offering prayers and support. "Our nation is grieving with you," she shared, vowing to return to the community. Questions surfaced regarding the timing of flood alerts, especially since many were caught off guard as conditions escalated dramatically. As rescue teams meticulously comb through debris, the commitment to find the missing remains steadfast, with authorities emphasizing that they will not relent until everyone is found. Experts attribute the severity of the floods to numerous factors, including extreme weather conditions and the sudden nature of the rise in river levels.
