More than 2,100 searchers from a dozen Texas Counties, other states and Mexico are continuing recovery efforts to find more victims of the deadly flash flooding in central Texas.

Search crews continued the grueling task of recovering the missing as more potential flash flooding threatened Texas Hill Country.

Over 12,000 volunteers have already assisted in Kerr County, according to the Texas Division of Emergency Management.

In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.

In the days after the devastating flood that killed dozens in Central Texas, local officials have deflected direct questions about preparations and warnings in advance of the storm that struck July Fourth.

Twice, the Texas Division of Emergency Management turned down Kerr County's requests for money to improve flood warnings.

The reporter said that several families were angry because they felt that alerts for the flood did not go out in time.
