A study puts the spotlight on Texas as the leading U.S. state by far for flood-related deaths, with more than 1,000 of them from 1959 to 2019.
President Donald Trump met with victims' families and surveyed the damage of catastrophic floods that struck the state one week ago.
At least 108 people have been killed in “catastrophic” flash flooding across Texas, while several others remain missing.
The president also confirmed that he plans to visit Texas to tour the devastation on Friday with First Lady Melania Trump.
