Days after Texas floods, at least 161 people are still missing in one county
Days after devastating floods hit Texas, authorities report that at least 161 people remain unaccounted for in one county alone. Governor Greg Abbott has vowed to keep search and rescue operations going until everyone is found, but the scale of the disaster is making recovery efforts grueling.
Editor’s Note: Floods don’t just damage property—they upend lives, and the human toll here is staggering. With so many still missing, families are stuck in agonizing limbo, and the prolonged search underscores how extreme weather events can overwhelm even the best-prepared communities. This isn’t just a local tragedy; it’s a reminder of how vulnerable we all are to climate-driven disasters.
