Hundreds were reported to be lost after the deadly Texas floods. Most of them were found safe
Dallas (AP) – Texas officials are working harder than 160 people who reported that they were lost in the Guadalupe River after the safety of nine floods that most people have not yet come, said County County.
“Most of them were tourists who went to the city and went home and had no place,” said Kerr County County Rob Kelly at a special Courty Courter Court. Called this process as “Herculean effort.”
Flash floods killed at least 135 people in Texas, and most of the deaths were Kerr County, where 8 meters were 100 kilometers) in northwestern San Antonio.
A sharp revision with the loss of Kerr County officials on Saturday followed a regular pattern on the familiar edge of major disasters. Hundreds of people are reported that they are lost in the first days after floods with the phone address and email address, which launched Kerroville police spokesman Jonathan in Wamb.
“We understand how important it is to report this information accurately – not only the affected families but the integrity of our urgent answers is perfect,” said the Lamb.
Heavy switches following disasters
Big changes to the lack of the outfit after the disaster is unusual.
For example, the number of death from the Maui’s 2023 fire was eventually found than 100 – below 1,100 at first fear lost.
In 2017, a wild fire north of California killed more than 20 people, but 100 people were earlier reported that the lost were safe.
Wildfires in 2018 who severely destroyed the California City in Paradise, but some hundreds of Bette County at the same time were more than 3,000 people who were not listed in the disaster days. White words in the publication listed on the local paper, and many people first saw that the officials wanted them.
Visitors and camps are reported to be lost
The Texas’ Hill’s country is popular, where camps want the spots along the Guadalupe River in the armor.
Holidays, RV powers and youth campgrounds to fill ballbanks and the Korr County hills, including the Kerric camp, Christian camp in the summer of girls found floods.
Floods were very difficult than the 100-year Emergency of Federal Emergency Management, said experts, and moved quickly between the Kherr County, which did not have a warning system, without warning system.
Tracking on the bottom of the missing
At the summit of July 14, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott lowered the value of the loss of State to 100 and suggested that barking that number was difficult. In the past floods, officials meant that they were lost in about 170 across the country but from 10 from Kherr County alone.
Camps, residents or people enrolled in RV parks or hotels is easy to answer, said Abbott. Some may have been reported to be lost by a friend, family member or colleague.
In Travis County, including Austin, the floods killed at least 10 people. The Sheriff’s Office said one person resides on their missing list but may not be removed if he can confirm a person’s sight.
Black Kristen, spokesman Sheriff’s office, said investigators worked a lost person and a respectable list “as we would work with other charges.” For example, if someone reports that they did not see their neighbor, the deputies can start reaching the employer and family family.
“They use all kinds of different ways to see if they can find that a person has not seen or that person is alive and here they are,” he said.
