The death toll from Texas’ devastating July 4 flooding has climbed to 134, with 101 people still missing as search efforts continue. Authorities are struggling to account for all victims—some officials even report receiving death threats amid the chaos. A new flash flood watch has been issued, raising fears of further danger.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another weather update—it’s a grim reminder of how quickly disasters escalate, and how vulnerable communities can be even after the worst seems over. With rescue teams still searching and threats complicating recovery efforts, the human toll here goes beyond the numbers. The new flood watch adds another layer of anxiety for residents already reeling. Stories like this underscore why disaster response and climate resilience need to be front-page conversations, not just footnotes.
