Today I visited Camp Mystic. It, and the river running beside it, were horrendously ravaged in ways unlike I've seen in any natural disaster.

something that will be looked at.

We will be relentless in going after and ensuring that we locate every single person who’s been a victim of this flooding event.

We will be relentless in going after and assuring that we locate every single person who’s been a victim of this flooding event.

And there is a need for speed - not just every hour. Every minute counts...

I urge every Texan to join me in prayer this Sunday — for the lives lost, for those still missing, for the recovery of our communities, and for the safety of those on the front lines.

My instruction to every state agency involved in this is to assume everybody who is missing is alive.

I have also requested federal disaster relief.

flash flooding can occur at lower levels of water than what happened in Kerrville.

Sunday will be a day of prayer for victims of the extreme weather event.

Prayer works. Thanks to everybody across the country and across the globe who have prayed for the people of Texas during this very challenging time.

more expected storms will pose life-threatening danger over the next 24 to 48 hours.

There's nothing expected at this time to the magnitude of what was seen in Kerrville.

Air rescue missions like this are being done around the clock. We will not stop until everyone is accounted for.

The camp was horrendously ravaged.

I am signing a disaster declaration to ensure counties have access to every tool, strategy, and personnel that the State of Texas can provide to them, which will be limitless.

When Texas faces a challenge, we come together, we unite.

We will continue to add counties as needed, as conditions either worsen or improve in counties across the state of Texas.

This is a time when we, as a state, need God more than ever.

We will not stop today or tomorrow, we will stop when it’s finish.

We will be relentless and going after and ensuring that we locate every single person who’s been a victim of this flooding event.

My instruction to every state agency involved in this is to assume everybody who is missing is alive.

We will stop at nothing to ensure that every asset and person and plan, whatever is needed, is going to be involved in the process of rescuing every last person.

We will find every one of them.

The one thing I hear the most are the prayers that are being sent for those who are in harm’s way.
