"Just in the Kerr County area alone, there are 161 people who are known to be missing. And again, that comes from combined law enforcement efforts, 161 known people who are missing. Know this, we will not stop until every missing person is accounted for. Know this also, there very likely could be more added to that list."

STORYLINE:
More than 160 people are believed to be missing in Texas four days after flash floods killed over 100 people during the July Fourth weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday.
Many of those who are not accounted for were staying in state’s Hill Country but did not register at a camp or hotel.
The lowlands along the Guadalupe River in central Texas are filled with youth camps and campgrounds that are especially popular around summer holidays, which has made it more difficult to know how many people are missing.
The big jump in the number of missing came after authorities set up a hotline for families to call.
“We will not stop until every missing person is accounted for,” Abbott said during a news conference in Hunt, Texas, after taking a helicopter tour of the area.
The 161 missing were believed to be in Kerr County, where most of the victims have recovered, Abbott said.
The governor said President Donald Trump has pledged to provide whatever relief Texas needs to recover.
“He could not stop talking about how sad he was for all the little girls who have lost their lives.” Trump planned to visit the state Friday.
