Over 100 people have died after heavy rain pounded Kerr County, Texas, early Friday, leading to "catastrophic" flooding, the sheriff said.

Q: Is it true that if President Donald Trump hadn’t defunded the National Weather Service, the death toll in the Texas flooding would have been far lower or nonexistent? A: The Trump administration did not defund the NWS but did reduce the staff by 600 people.

Harris County, Texas, Judge Lina Hidalgo spoke about flood cleanup efforts in her community and expressed concern over future flood response following cuts to FEMA and the National Weather Service.

The Department of Homeland Security says it's making FEMA less "bloated." Opponents say that cost people their lives in Texas.
