Welcome to the NewsHour. Hopes are dimming for finding survivors from the flash floods that devastated Central Texas on July 4th. At least 95 people were killed in some of the deadliest floods to hit this country in decades. That includes 28 children. More than 850 people have been rescued since the flood's first hit, but dozens are still

unaccounted for, including at least 10 young girls. William Brangham begins our coverage with

this report. Days after the deluge, the Guadalupe River was quiet today, but the damage it wrought

over the weekend is visible everywhere what

once were entire campgrounds along its banks gone locals are still coming to

grips with the terror they experienced there was a little boy who started

floating downstream and he was screaming, asking for help.

I was about to jump in and my husband had to hold me back. He said, you're going to go too

and there's nothing you can do if you jump in. I didn't know how I was going to live with that.

And thankfully, by the end of the day yesterday,

I saw his face online and he had been rescued.

Officials this morning said the huge search

for other survivors is still underway.

This is a massive field that is happening.

And again, this is unprecedented flood events. So we are still

currently in the primary search phase. This will be a rough week. Primary search continues,

and we remain hopeful every foot, every mile, every bend of the river. Through the weekend and into today, hundreds of volunteers, from ex-military to local civilians,

as well as state and federal teams, joined the effort.

Seeing all the devastation and the trees and the clothing, the random bits of flotsam floating around the river really hits home.

So that gives quite a somber feeling to just be out here seeing it in person rather than just on the

news.

The floods tore through the Texas Hill Country on Friday the 4th.
