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.

Local officials have faced angry questions about whether they could have warned people of dangerous flash floods in Texas Hill Country sooner. Rescue teams from neighboring states and Mexico have joined local efforts to search for survivors,

Texas has confirmed 109 deaths as a result of the storms that dangerously raised the Guadalupe River 26 feet in under an hour. On Tuesday, first responders and volunteers fanned out on foot, horseback and boats.
