Heavy equipment is tearing through massive debris piles in Kerr County as the search for the missing continues.

At least 119 people have been killed and more than 170 are still missing after catastrophic flash flooding swept through central Texas. Officials fear that the death toll could soar as search and rescue efforts entered their sixth day Wednesday,

The death toll in the central Texas flooding is up to 119 people, 95 of them in Kerr County, including 36 children.

Kerrville’s mayor said he was unaware of any help sent by the state to his community ahead of the flood, a day after Gov. Greg Abbott said the state had “assets, resources and personnel” in place two days before a flood tore through the Hill Country.

Nearly a week after deadly floods struck Central Texas, search and rescue teams are continuing to probe debris for those still missing.

Emergency responders continue to search for missing people and local police said efforts have been slowed by "sightseers who are making things worse."

As much as 10 inches of heavy rain fell in just a few hours overnight in central Kerr County, causing flash flooding of the Guadalupe River.
