The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, visited the camp and wrote on Saturday night (local time) on X That there is destruction “in a way that I have not experienced before at a natural disaster.” According to him, the water reached the ridge of the huts. “We will not stop until we have found every girl in those huts,” said the governor.
Large damage can be seen on images: homes and streets have been destroyed, vehicles hang in trees, and some photos only make the roof of a few houses visible
