The rising number of victims from the devastating central Texas floods is beginning to plateau, with at least 120 people found dead in the state – a bleak sign that rescuers have made little progress to find victims amid wreckage in the past 24 hours.
On Thursday morning, local officials in Kerr county, which was hit the hardest by the 4 July flash flood, announced that 96 people had died, the same number reported on Wednesday evening.
