A: Hey there! You heard about the news in Texas?

B: No, what's going on?

A: Well, it looks like we had some really heavy rain there. Over 80 people are reported dead!

B: That's terrible! Whoa, where exactly did this happen?

A: It seems to be along the Guadalupe River in Kerr county. They say at least 68 people there are confirmed dead, and sadly, about 11 people, mostly children, are still missing.

B: This is just awful... Have other counties been affected as well?

A: Yes, they have. More deaths have been reported in other areas too. It seems the rain came on so fast that many people didn't even have a chance to reach safety.

B: I hope everyone gets through this tough time. Did you hear Trump posted something about it?

A: Yeah, he signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County and said he'd work closely with local leaders to make sure they get the help they need.

Devastating flooding in the US state of Texas has reportedly left more than 80 people dead. Authorities are still searching for others who have been reported missing.



The downpours hit in the early hours of Friday, inundating an area along the Guadalupe River.



Officials in Kerr county say at least 68 people there were confirmed dead, including 28 children. They say 11 people, mostly children, are missing.



More deaths have been reported in other counties. Authorities say the rain came so quickly overnight that many people likely had no chance to reach safety.



US President Donald Trump posted a message on social media Sunday, saying he'd signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County. He pledged to work closely with local leaders to ensure they get the resources they need.
