As search-and-rescue operations continue across central Texas, the death toll from the devastating and catastrophic flash flooding of the Guadalupe River continues to rise. On Sunday, Texas’s governor, Greg Abbott, said more than 40 people remain missing.
More than 100 people have now died in the floods. At least 27 of those are children. The crisis is being described as one of the US’s deadliest floods in decades and has caused between $18bn and $22bn in total damage and economic loss, according to a preliminary estimate from AccuWeather.
