SAN ANTONIO — Search and rescue efforts resume for an eleventh day as specific crews continue to look for the 161 missing after the catastrophic Fourth of July floods.
"There is a plan in place right now to accomplish draining the lake. We can't go any further than that, then to tell you that is being looked at right now," said Commissioner Tom Jones.
Commissioners in Kerr County, Texas, are set to meet Monday in their first official court hearing since more than 100 people, including children and counselors at a summer camp, were killed in catastrophic flooding last week.
At least 161 are still unaccounted for after the July Fourth floods that saw the waters of the Guadalupe rise to historic levels in Central Texas, officials with Kerr County said Friday. Authorities have confirmed 103 deaths, 36 of whom are children.
As the water rises, so does the Kerr County community, especially one man who reunited a brother and sister, swept away in the flood.
Three officers along with officers Bruce, Bullseye and Bandit have made the trek from the Rio Grande Valley to help aid rescuers in their searches.
