Live updates: Texas flooding death toll, Trump visit and latest on Camp Mystic

It’s been one week since floodwaters devastated the Texas Hill Country, and the death toll continues to rise, with more than 160 people still missing.

RickyRay Robertson’s family property lines spans both sides of the Guadalupe River. He says the bodies of victims have been found on each side.

“There was five as of yesterday (Wednesday), over there and one on this side. They did pull the sixth one out yesterday, that’s the one we saw,” Robertson said. “And apparently, they just said that they found another one over there.”

It’s a shocking transformation for these parts of the Guadalupe River, which had long offered a peaceful way of life.

“This still blows me away, really does blow me away,” Robertson said.

He showed us the foundation of what was once his cabin home, since the structure was washed away. Robertson recalled a couple searching his property late one night and asked if he could help.

“The man walked to me and he said we’re looking for our daughter,” Robertson said. “And he said, I know we’re not gonna find her, but we can’t just sit in the hotel.”

Just up the road, at a Kerrville park along the river, 91-year-old Charles Hanson has been clearing debris every morning, finding solace in the work.

“On behalf of the people who can’t be here or shouldn’t be here right now, I’m here,” Hanson said.

A week after disaster struck, the communities and people along the now calm Guadalupe River are trying to find a way forward.

“I think the best thing I can do in respect for the people is to help clean up the mess,” Hanson said, dragging away large branches.

“They’re not numbers, you know. They’re little girls and men and mothers and fathers and what is this … a big square box full of stuff, you know,” Robertson said tearfully. “That, I can easily rebuild.”
