Flash floods that swept through Texas over the Fourth of July weekend have left more than 100 people dead and dozens of others missing.

The death toll in the central Texas floods has risen to over 100. Officials say the majority of the deaths were in Kerr County. Search and recovery crews there are working through masses of downed trees and other debris.

Torrential rains before dawn on Friday deluged the Guadalupe River, which burst its banks and killed dozens of people, leaving behind mangled piles of debris, trees and cars.
