Over 100 people have died after heavy rain pounded Kerr County, Texas, early Friday, leading to "catastrophic" flooding, the sheriff said.

The number of confirmed deaths from the Texas Hill Country floods rose to 95 in Kerr County on Wednesday, Sheriff Larry Leitha said.

While searches continue their pain-staking work, holding out hope, of finding some survivors. Kerr County officials face mounting questions about whether enough was done to get people out before the flood came in.
