Ohio Task Force 1 helping with search and recovery efforts after Texas floods
CLEVELAND (WJW) – A specialized team from Ohio Task Force 1 has been deployed to assist in search and recovery operations in Central Texas. The deployment, requested by Texas emergency officials, includes three highly trained team members and two canines, specifically skilled in Human Remains Detection (HRD). 'Unfortunately, HRD stands for human remains detection. These dogs are trained to smell specific odors from a body that has passed,' said Chris O'Connor, spokesperson for Ohio Task Force 1.

So far, the death toll has risen to at least 134. Severe weather has complicated recovery efforts. Lightning and rising floodwaters have forced temporary pauses in the search. 'They encountered weather issues where inclement weather caused them to pull back,' O'Connor said. 'And on the second day, it happened again.'

'They look at it as a form of closure for the families and the communities,' O'Connor said. 'That's the pride they take in their job—the ability to do something very, very difficult.' O'Connor added the team is prepared to stay as long as Texas needs them. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Texas and New York Face Renewed Flood Threat With Downpours on the Way
Central Texas is facing the threat of more flooding as persistent storms bring heavy rain to the area, while a separate system will unleash downpours on New York City and throughout the Mid-Atlantic.

On Sunday, recovery efforts in the region were paused as the flood risk rose more than a week after devastating deluges killed at least 130 people and left dozens missing.
