President Donald Trump signed a major disaster declaration for Kerr County on Sunday morning, while Abbott declared Sunday a “day of prayer.”

W. Nim Kidd, director of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, faulted the National Weather Service for not predicting “the amount of rain we saw,” though alerts were issued beforehand and as it became clear the region was facing a flash flood emergency.

The NWS issued a flash flood watch Thursday afternoon that noted Kerr County, where much of the flooding began early Friday morning, was a particularly vulnerable area, along with more urgent flash flood emergency alerts in the overnight hours as the disaster unfolded.

The NWS was one of several federal agencies targeted by the controversial cost-cutting efforts of the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency, and has recently laid off nearly 600 employees—around the same amount of staffers it lost in the 15 previous years, the Texas Tribune reported.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the Trump administration would “honor” a federal disaster declaration from Abbott, who also declared Sunday a “day of prayer” as first responders search for the missing campers.

Where Were Deaths Confirmed From The Floods?

Authorities in Kerr County confirmed at least 59 people, including 21 children, were killed in the floods, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said at a press conference Sunday, with the death toll expected to rise. One woman was found dead in a submerged car in Tom Green County, the San Angelo Police Department confirmed on social media Saturday, while another person was found dead trapped underneath a vehicle in Williamson County, officials there confirmed Sunday. At least three more people were found dead in Burnet County, the Burnet County Sheriff’s Office reported after search-and-rescue operations rescued over 50 residents, and at least four more bodies were recovered in Travis County, according to multiple reports, while officials in Kendall County confirmed in a Sunday morning update two residents died.

Why Weren’t Summer Camps Evacuated?

Although the NWS issued warnings about the incoming weather system and the potential for massive flooding as early as Friday morning, it remains unclear why Camp Mystic and other summer camps in the area were not evacuated sooner. “That is a great question,” Kerrville City Manager Rice Dalton said when pressed about this Sunday, but did not provide an answer. Instead, Dalton said the city was still focused on searching for the remaining missing children.

Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly, when he was asked why camps along the Guadalupe were not evacuated, told reporters Friday, “I can’t answer that, I don’t know,” before saying the county had “no reason to believe that this was going to be anything like what’s happened here.”

There is still a risk for more rain in central Texas. The NWS issued another flood watch for north-central Texas through Sunday evening, as well as a flash flood warning for parts of Bosque, Hill, Johnson and Somervell Counties as heavy rains inundate the region.
