A time-lapse video reveals how quickly the flash flood in Kerr County, Texas, on Friday developed.
Authorities say at least 82 people were killed in the catastrophe, and President Donald Trump issued a disaster declaration.
He said, “”These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing. The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was on the ground yesterday with Governor Greg Abbott, who is working hard to help the people of his Great State.”
The video shows the water’s rise in just about half an hour.
Social media included comments:
“That’s why they’re called flash floods.”
“The speed with which the waters rose is phenomenal.”
“It’s crazy that the time lapse is really only 30 min.”
“Praying for the people of my home state… Those floods happen so fast.”
