The White House has confirmed that the death toll from the catastrophic flooding in Texas has risen to 91, marking one of the deadliest natural disasters in the state’s recent history.
Officials say the toll includes both adults and children, with dozens more still missing as rescue efforts continue across flood-ravaged counties. Torrential rains over the past week have inundated central and eastern parts of the state, overwhelming infrastructure and leaving entire neighborhoods submerged.
President Trump is expected to visit the hardest-hit areas later this week to meet with local officials and first responders. The federal government has deployed emergency support teams, with FEMA coordinating ongoing relief efforts and the National Guard assisting in rescue operations.
Governor Greg Abbott declared a statewide disaster earlier this week, warning residents to stay clear of rising waters and comply with evacuation orders. Over 850 people have reportedly been rescued since the floods began.
This remains a developing story as authorities work to assess damage, locate missing persons, and prevent further loss of life.
