Catastrophic flooding has devastated parts of central Texas, killing at least 129 people. At least 150 are still missing.

Four months’ worth of rain fell in just hours Friday, and the Guadalupe River rose over 20 feet, sweeping homes, cars, campers and cabins downstream. Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp that sits along the river, confirmed Monday that more than two dozen campers and counselors died in the flooding.

President Donald Trump visited the area on Friday, meeting with grieving families, first responders and local officials. During his visit, Trump brushed off criticism of the disaster response. CNN reports that cost-cutting measures by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem slowed FEMA’s initial response to the flooding.

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump shake hands with Kerrville police officers, as they visit the devastation along the banks of the Guadalupe River on Friday.
