The number of deaths across the state is now 80. Fatal floods in Texas that left thousands scrambling for safety with little warning have sparked a fresh round of scrutiny of Trump administration cuts to the National Weather Service.

The risk of life-threatening flooding is still high in central Texas with more rain on the way. The urgent search for the missing continues following a holiday weekend deluge that killed at least 82 people including children at summer camps.

President Donald Trump signed a disaster declaration to send emergency relief as families and search teams continue to look for missing loved ones.
