Texas floods latest updates: At least 104 dead and dozens still missing as Texans told ‘rough week’ ahead

Flood warnings are still in effect for residents along two rivers in Coryell County.

The National Water Prediction Service issued the warnings Monday evening for the Leon River in Gatesville and Cowhouse Creek near Pidcoke.

Both rivers are expected to experience minor flooding. The warnings are due to be assessed at 2.45 p.m. local time

A veteran Houston pediatrician has been fired after she attacked Donald Trump supporters impacted by the floods.

“May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” wrote Dr. Christina Propst, formerly of Blue Fish Pediatrics.

“Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.”

Blue Fish Pediatrics announced that they had let Propst go.

“We were made aware of a social media comment from one of our physicians,” read the statement, without explicitly mentioning Propst by name. “The individual is no longer employed by Blue Fish Pediatrics.”

The Austin Firefighters Association has called for a vote of no confidence on Austin Fire Chief Joel Baker after he allegedly “DENIED” the deployment of firefighters to flood-ravaged Kerry County.

AFA president said at a news conference Monday that Baker issued a standing order on June 6 that prevented Austin firefighters from deploying to assist search and rescue efforts.

“It is absolutely outrageous that the Austin Fire Chief, Joel G. Baker, would not allow highly trained firefighters from Austin to respond to Kerrville,” the group wrote in a statement Monday.

“Because of this egregious dereliction of duty, LIVES WERE VERY LIKELY LOST BECAUSE OF CHIEF BAKER’S DECISION!”

The Independent has contacted Baker for more information.

The Houston Astros have pledged to give $1 million to support relief efforts for those devastated by the floods that swept through Central Texas last week.

The MLB team said in a statement Monday that the Astros Foundation will also mobilize supporters and launch a fan-based initiative.

“It’s important to the entire Astros organization, to send immediate support to our fellow Texans throughout the Hill Country during this devastating time,” Jim Crane, owner and chairman of the team, said.

Crane said the Astros are committed to providing support for communities “through the coming days, months and years to help rebuild and heal.”

The search for two dozen missing people entered its fifth day on Tuesday after catastrophic flash floods swept through Central Texas last week.

At least 104 people have been killed following torrential downpours that began Thursday after the Guadalupe River burst from its banks on Friday, rising by 20 feet in roughly 95 minutes.

Maps reveal the devastation seen in Kerr County, where authorities revealed 28 children were among the 84 victims in the flood-ravaged region.

The Independent has mapped out the Texas communities hit hardest by the floods.

As the death toll mounts, Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring Jr said at a Monday news conference that locals should prepare for a “rough week.”

“I need to tell my community, and those who are waiting: this will be a rough week,” he said.

“Primary search continues, and we remain hopeful [for] every foot, every mile, every bend of the river.”

As the Madre Fire continues to tear through California, Governor Gavin Newsom announced he would deploy the state’s Urban Search and Rescue Team to Texas to assist with flood response efforts.

“California stands with all those who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods in the devastating aftermath of these summer floods in Texas,” he said in a statement.

“California is sending these specialized resources to support critical emergency response and recovery efforts.”

Residents of Kerr County, Texas, and other areas around the Guadalupe River, are picking up the pieces following deadly flooding that has killed at least 104 people since last week.

Search and rescue operations were still underway on Tuesday as authorities scoured the area for dozens of others who remain missing amid the resulting debris and floodwaters.

At a press conference, city and county managers said donations have been pouring in from around the world to the Community Foundation. Anyone who wants to volunteer should contact the Kerrville Salvation Army and register.
