The death toll from flash floods that struck central Texas on Friday has now climbed to at least 107 people and an unknown number of others are missing.

Camp Mystic, a Christian all-girls’ summer camp, confirmed at least 27 girls and staff were among the dead. Five campers and one adult are still missing.
The White House meanwhile rejected suggestions that budget cuts at the National Weather Service could have inhibited the disaster response.
