As many communities in the Texas Hill Country continue to search for victims and pick up the pieces following devastating floods, Sen. Ted Cruz was in Hunt, in Kerr County Monday.

Rescuers in inflatable motorboats also searched Monday for bodies near Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp, where 27 campers and counsellors died after being swept away by floodwaters.

Flash flooding in Texas Hill Country has triggered one of the largest rescue operations in the state’s history.
