President Donald Trump spoke with first responders and officials in central Texas today after meeting with grieving families and surveying damage from the catastrophic floods that killed at least 129 people.

Young campers and a dad saving his family were among the dozens killed in the historic flash floods that tore through central Texas over the holiday weekend.

Severe thunderstorms will continue to prowl the central United States through the weekend with some areas at risk for damage stemming from high winds, hail, tornadoes and flooding. Police officers and emergency crews in eastern Massachusetts were out in full force on Thursday morning, performing rescues and blocking off impassable roads

Mr. Trump and Abbott promised to rebuild the devastated region, although the president recognized that what was lost can never be recovered.

"The first lady and I are here in Texas to express the love and support and the anguish of our entire nation in the aftermath of this really horrific and deadly flood," Trump said as he spoke at a roundtable event with first responders and local officials.

It’s hard to believe the devastation,' Trump said. 'Trees that are 100 years old just ripped out of the ground. I've never seen anything like this, and I've seen a lot of bad ones.'

Malaya Grace Hammond is among the latest fatalities identified from the Texas floods. Hammond's family said she was swept away by floodwaters on Saturday in Travis County.

The threat of heavy rain is “slight” for this weekend, but with the ground fully saturated in Kerr County even small amounts of rainfall could cause flooding.

The death toll in the July 4 Central Texas flooding rose to 103 on Friday as the search continued for those still missing.

As rescue efforts end, volunteers and retired responders reflect on the toll — and the hope — of bringing closure to families.
