Missing person count from deadly Texas floods down to just three: officials
Just three people remain missing — down from nearly 100 at last count — since the Texas Hill Country was pounded by massive flooding on July 4, officials said Saturday. Article content Officials praised rescuers for the sharp reduction in the number of people on the missing list: Just days after the catastrophic flooding, more than 160 people were said to be unaccounted for in Kerr County alone. Article content Article content 'This remarkable progress reflects countless hours of coordinated search and rescue operations, careful investigative work, and an unwavering commitment to bringing clarity and hope to families during an unimaginably difficult time,' Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice said in a statement. Article content Article content The flash floods killed at least 135 people in Texas over the holiday weekend, with most deaths along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, about 60 miles (100 kilometres) northwest of San Antonio. Article content Just before daybreak on July 4, the destructive, fast-moving waters rose 26 feet (8 metres) on the Guadalupe, washing away homes and vehicles. The floods laid waste to the Hill Country, a popular tourist destination where campers seek out spots along the river amid the rolling landscape. It is naturally prone to flash flooding because its dry, dirt-packed soil cannot soak up heavy rain. Article content Article content Vacation cabins, youth camps campgrounds fill the riverbanks and hills of Kerr County, including Camp Mystic, a century-old Christian summer camp for girls. Located in a low-lying area of a region known as 'flash flood alley,' Camp Mystic lost at least 27 campers and counsellors. Article content Article content The flooding was far more severe than the 100-year event envisioned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, experts said, and it moved so quickly in the middle of the night that it caught many off guard in a county that lacked a warning system. Article content In Kerrville, about 100 miles (160 kilometres) west of Austin, local officials have come under scrutiny over whether residents were adequately warned about the rising waters. Article content President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have pushed back aggressively against questions about how well local authorities responded to forecasts of heavy rain and the first reports of flash flooding. Article content Crews have been searching for victims using helicopters, boats and drones. Earlier efforts were hampered by rain forecasts, leading some crews to hold off or stop because of worries about more flooding. Article content

Cape Breton fire officials say wildfire is no longer growing
Social Sharing Fire officials in Cape Breton say a wildfire burning in the Sydney area of Kytes Hill and Grand Lake remains active but is no longer growing. Officials say the fire got to about two kilometres from some homes. The fire was held by ground crews with air support from a DNR helicopter. Christina Lamey, a spokesperson for Cape Breton Regional Municipality, said electricity in the area was turned off to more than 3,000 customers to support firefighting efforts but it has since been restored. In an update on Facebook at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, CBRM said the fire has not grown since Saturday evening. It is now 2.1 hectares in size. Three fire stations remain on the scene with the DNR and a helicopter is on standby. Rain is in the forecast for Sunday evening and is expected to continue until Monday, said the municipality.
