Disaster Response Intensifies as Trump Visits Flood-Ravaged Texas

President Donald Trump arrived in central Texas on Friday to survey the catastrophic aftermath of flash floods that struck over the July 4 holiday, killing at least 120 people and leaving dozens still unaccounted for, as reported by Reuters.

The visit comes amid mounting criticism of the federal response to what has become the deadliest natural disaster of Trump’s second term. Torrential rains unleashed a wall of water down the Guadalupe River last Friday, sweeping through the Texas Hill Country in the early morning hours and catching communities off guard.

«It’s a horrible thing,» Trump said before departing the White House. «Nobody can even believe it—so much water, so fast.»

Rescue efforts have continued around the clock, though hopes of finding more survivors are fading. Thousands of first responders have sifted through mud-covered debris along the riverbanks and devastated campgrounds, including the area around Camp Mystic near Hunt.

During his visit, Trump is expected to meet with local officials, emergency crews and the families of victims. He will receive a formal briefing on the situation and tour the hardest-hit parts of Kerr County — a region often referred to as «flash flood alley» due to its vulnerability to sudden, deadly surges of water.

The president’s appearance highlights the gravity of the disaster and growing calls for a reassessment of federal preparedness in the face of increasingly extreme weather events.
