Texas Hill Country remains under flood watch as authorities search for missing people following severe flooding from the 4 July event, which caused nearly 130 deaths and left 160 missing. Controversy surrounds FEMA's flood map amendments that may have underestimated flood risks at Camp Mystic, a summer camp in a designated flood zone. Despite having technology to alert residents, the county relied on less effective methods, and questions about warning failures persist. President Trump visited the area, praising local response efforts amid ongoing recovery.
