Weather warnings predicted devastation from both the Texas floods and Hurricane Helene. But in both disasters, people were left in harm’s way.

President Donald Trump is traveling to central Texas on Friday to survey the aftermath of a catastrophic flood that has killed more than 100 people and put his administration on the sudden defensive over its emergency response efforts.

Officials in Texas are facing mounting questions about whether they did enough to get people out of harm’s way before a flash flood swept down the Guadalupe River and killed more than 100 people, including at least 27 children and counselors at an all-girls Christian camp.

Controversy erupted after a fundraiser for Sade Perkins, a former Houston official who made racial comments about the 27 girls who died in Camp Mystic floods.

The report, citing anonymous sources, suggested FEMA's Texas flood response was delayed as a result of a Trump administration cost-saving rule.

Even before dozens died in flood waters on July 4, Texas ranked first in the U.S. in number of deaths due to natural disasters.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday said investigative committees in the House and Senate will look at the response to deadly flooding in Central Texas, but cautioned not to place blame on any singular source.
