The search for girls missing from a summer camp continued, while fears of further flooding prompted the evacuation of volunteer rescue workers.
President Donald Trump offered his condolences to the families of the victims and said he would likely visit the area on Friday. He said his administration had been in touch with Governor Abbott.
“It’s a terrible thing to happen, absolutely terrible. We say, God bless all those who have suffered so much, and God bless the state of Texas,” he told reporters as he left New Jersey.
