More than 2,100 searchers from a dozen Texas Counties, other states and Mexico are continuing recovery efforts to find more victims of the deadly flash flooding in central Texas.

A study puts the spotlight on Texas as the leading U.S. state by far for flood-related deaths, with more than 1,000 of them from 1959 to 2019.

Nearly a week after deadly floods struck Central Texas, search and rescue teams are continuing to probe debris for those still missing.

At least 120 people have been found dead since heavy rainfall overwhelmed the river and flowed through homes and youth camps in the early morning hours of July 4. Ninety-six of those killed were in the hardest-hit county in central Texas, Kerr County, where the toll includes at least 36 children.

Flood watch in effect for Texas Hill Country, National Weather Service office says The hard-hit Texas Hill Country has a flood watch in effect through the evening of July 13, according to the National Weather Service office serving Austin and San Antonio.

At least 108 people have been killed in “catastrophic” flash flooding across Texas, while several others remain missing.

Texas leads the US in flood deaths due to its geography, population and risky behaviour, with experts suggesting that many fatalities, especially in cars, are preventable.

A hydrologist explains why the region is known as Flash Flood Alley and how its geography and geology can lead to heavy downpours and sudden, destructive floods.

The group includes cynologists with rescue dogs among other experts. They set off from the military airport in Kbely, Prague, passing through the U.S. airbase Ramstein in Germany.
