32 dead, including 14 children, in catastrophic flooding
At least 32 people are dead, including 14 children, Texas officials said Saturday. Officials are still searching for 27 people who are missing.
“My instruction to every state official involved is to assume everybody who is missing is alive, and there’s a need for speed. Not just every hour, every minute counts, which is why there’s people in the air, people in the water, people at the ground right now because they’re looking to save every last life and we will not give up that effort,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said at a press conference.
Search and rescue teams are continuing to search for live victims, officials said.
