The loss of life is unimaginable. While we are still grappling with what happened, it’s important to understand the historic nature of this flood. It likely already ranks as the third-deadliest flood in Texas history.

The number of people killed in devastating Central Texas floods increased to 90 on Monday as emergency officials continued searching through snapped trees and wrecked homes for missing people, and clouds threatened to dump more rain across the region.

Texans are reeling from the major flood disaster over the holiday weekend that killed at least 108 people, with the majority of the deaths taking place in Kerr County. At least 23 people remain missing.
