Flood alarm in Texas never came through high costs: now 82 dead and new warnings

With heavy, sudden floods in the US state of Texas, at least 82 people were killed, including at least 28 children. Rescue workers search for survivors, but there is a fear of more deaths. Local authorities also warn of new floods due to rain showers in the region. In the meantime, Kerr County, one of the most affected areas, abandoned a warning system against floods years ago because it was found to be too expensive, reports ‘The New York Times’. President Donald Trump said he will “probably” visit the state on Friday.
