Nearly a week after deadly floods struck Central Texas, search and rescue teams are continuing to probe debris for those still missing.
At least 119 people have been found dead in nearly a week since heavy rainfall overwhelmed the river and flowed through homes and youth camps in the early morning hours of July 4. Ninety-five of those killed were in the hardest-hit county in central Texas, Kerr County, where the toll includes at least three dozen children.
Scott Ruskan, a Coast Guard swimmer, is credited with saving 165 people at the all-girls’ camp from deadly floods in Central Texas.
Records released Tuesday show Camp Mystic met state regulations for disaster procedures, but details of the plan remain unclear.
