“Know this: We won’t stop until every missing person is accounted for. It is also known: a lot of possibilities can be added to that list,” Gove Greg Abbott said during a news conference on Tuesday.
Abbott said that the officials are seeking more information about those who were in the state hill country during the fourth holiday of July, but did not register in a camp or hotel and could be in the area without knowing.

Views of catastrophe in camp mystic
Outside the cabins in the camp mystic, where the girls slept, mud-shaped blankets and pillows were scattered on a hill of grass which slope towards the river. In addition, pink, purple and blue accessories were decorated with stickers in debris.

Where was the warning?
Question mood What, if any, the action was taken by the local authorities to warn camps and residents, which were long known as “Flash Flood Elle” to the local people.
County County leaders, where explorers have found around 90 bodies, said their first priority is fixing the victims, not what happened in the pre -floods before the flash flood.
Rob Kelly, a judge of County, a chief elected officer of the county, said that the county does not have a warning system.
The generations of families in the hill country have known the dangers. The 1987 floods forced a youth camp in rest and marshy buses and vans to withdraw a youth camp. Ten teenagers were killed.
Local leaders have spoken about the need for a warning system for years. Ker County sought about $ 1 million grant for such a system eight years ago, but the request was turned down by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Kelly said that local residents took the bill to themselves.
Recovery and cleanup proceeds
The bodies of 30 children were among those who have been recovered in the county, which is home to camps and many other summer camps, Sheriff said.
The havoc took place in Central Texas at a distance of several hundred miles, outside the capital of Austin.
