Over 100 people have been found dead and several missing from the flash floods that struck central Texas on Friday.

Another source says about of 84 of the victims – 56 adults and 28 children while some 22 adults and 10 children have yet to be identified, said the county sheriff’s office.

Search and rescue teams from across America still wading through mud-piled riverbanks and debris searching for survivals as more rain and thunderstorms threaten the region days after the catastrophe.

The NWS office responsible for forecasting in the region had five employees on duty as thunderstorms brewed over Texas on Thursday evening, the usual number for an overnight shift when severe weather is expected.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt rejected attempts to blame the president for the flooding.

“That was an act of God,” she told a daily briefing on Monday.

“It’s not the administration’s fault that the flood hit when it did, but there were early and consistent warnings and, again, the National Weather Service did its job.”

“But I wouldn’t blame Biden for it, either,” he added. “I would just say this is a 100-year catastrophe.”

Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican, told a news conference on Monday that now was not the time for “partisan finger-pointing”.
