In Texas, the death toll from catastrophic July 4 floods has reached 104 people. That includes 27 victims from an all-girls summer camp located on the banks of the Guadalupe River. Ten children and one teenage counselor from Camp Mystic are still missing as search and rescue efforts enter their fifth day.

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick on Monday admitted local officials failed to place flood warning sirens along the Guadalupe River years ago due to the cost. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has called for an investigation into whether federal staffing cuts to the National Weather Service were a factor in the devastating death toll.
