(Daily Wire)—President Donald Trump, along with first lady Melania Trump, traveled to Central Texas on Friday, one week after sudden catastrophic flooding swept through multiple counties, killing at least 121 people and destroying homes and businesses.
The president and first lady flew into San Antonio and then boarded Marine One, which took them 60 miles northwest to Kerrville, Texas, the small town that took the brunt of the flooding last week. Of the 120 people who have been reported dead throughout the state, 96 of them — including 36 children — were killed in Kerr County, where Kerrville is the county seat.

More than 170 people are still missing in the region as search teams comb the devastated area. Responders are still searching for five young girls who were attending Camp Mystic and one counselor, CBS News reported.
“As a nation, we mourn for every single life that was swept away in the flood, and we pray for the families that are left behind,” Trump said at a press conference with emergency responders in Kerville, alongside Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. “It’s amazing, the incredible spirit from those families. I don’t even know they do it.”
