THOUSANDS of first responders were still combing through piles of mud-covered debris in Texas Hill Country yesterday, hoping against long odds to find survivors six days after flash floods swept through the region, killing at least 120.
A dozen states have dispatched search teams to Kerr County, where the vast majority of the victims perished when torrential rains sent a wall of water raging down the Guadalupe River in the predawn hours of July 4.
Authorities in Kerr County have faced questions about whether more could have been done to alert residents about the rising floodwaters and get some of them to higher ground.
