Search crews continued the grueling task of recovering the missing as more potential flash flooding threatened Texas Hill Country.

A memorial service was held in Kerr County, Texas on Friday to honor the victims and those still missing from flooding that recently struck the region.

In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.

"The first lady and I are here in Texas to express the love and support and the anguish of our entire nation in the aftermath of this really horrific and deadly flood," Trump said as he spoke at a roundtable event with first responders and local officials.

The Texas Department of Juvenile Justice said a West Texas juvenile probation officer was among the victims of deadly Kerr County flooding that happened over the July 4 weekend.

Twice, the Texas Division of Emergency Management turned down Kerr County's requests for money to improve flood warnings.

In the days after the devastating flood that killed dozens in Central Texas, local officials have deflected direct questions about preparations and warnings in advance of the storm that struck July Fourth.

Days after flash floods killed over 100 people during the July Fourth weekend, search-and-rescue teams are using heavy equipment to untangle and peel away layers of trees, unearth large rocks in riverbanks and move massive piles of debris that stretch for miles in the search for the missing people.

At a Wednesday morning press conference, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha declined to answer a question about delayed emergency alerts, saying that an "after-action" would follow the search and rescue efforts. "Those questions are gonna be answered," he added.
