Gov. Greg Abbott made clear he expects the Texas Legislature to investigate every aspect of the flooding in the Texas Hill Country - with a big exception.

More than 111 people have died across six counties after flash flooding from heavy rain began affecting the state last week.

At least 120 people have died and some 173 people remain unaccounted for statewide, nearly a week after flash floods ravaged the Texas Hill Country.

Multiple parts of Central Texas, including Kerr County, were shocked by flash floods Friday when the Guadalupe River and others rose rapidly.

The governor said Tuesday that the state had “assets, resources and personnel” in place before the July 4 floods.

While there are no watches or warnings in place anywhere in the state for the first time since Sunday, the National Weather Service still says there will be spotty showers in the morning and scattered storms in the afternoon. Areas south and east of the Interstate 95 corridor are most likely to see precipitation.

With more than 170 still missing, communities must reconcile how to pick up the pieces around a waterway that remains both a wellspring and a looming menace.

North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein said July 8 that state officials were working to confirm the total number of fatalities.

The National Weather Service is urging commuters to “turn around, don’t drown when encountering flooded roads” as a flash-flood notice is in effect.
