KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Over the last decade, an array of Texas state and local agencies missed opportunities to fund a flood warning system intended to avert a disaster like the one that killed dozens of young campers and scores of others in Kerr County on the Fourth of July.

Public officials in the area have come under repeated criticism amid questions about the timeline of what happened and why widespread warnings were

Amid staggering loss, hundreds gathered in mourning and prayer at a Wednesday night vigil for the victims of the July Fourth floods.

The event was held as search crews and volunteers continued to scour miles along the Guadalupe River for the people still missing.

Ricky Pruitt of the Kerrville Church of Christ in Texas spoke at a vigil on Wednesday night to remember the more than 120 people who were killed during last week's floods. He talks with host Asma Khalid about how the community is helping one another.

The governor said Tuesday that the state had “assets, resources and personnel” in place before the July 4 floods.

On Tuesday, a sign that reads “Jesus Wept” was propped up on debris by the riverbank next to the camp.

Retired Fort Worth police officer Jamie Stanford said her faith and her Texas pride drove her to Kerrville this week.
