A United Cajun Navy commander leads flood recovery efforts in his hometown of Kerrville, Texas, where 121 people died in catastrophic flooding.

The United Cajun Navy and Mission Mules are providing emotional support and recovery efforts in Central Texas, nearly a week after deadly flash floods devastated the area, with the United Cajun Navy accepting no new volunteers for this mission but inviting support on their website and Mission Mules accepting donations.

In the wake of catastrophic flooding in Central Texas, the United Cajun Navy, a volunteer group largely made up of combat veterans, has joined search and recovery operations.

Kerr County first tried to secure $1 million for a flood warning system in 2017, but could not. Could such a system have prevented loss of life on July 4?

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.

Maps show how heavy rainfall and rocky terrain helped create the devastating Texas floods that have killed more than 120 people.

Kerr County officials say death toll has risen to 96 due to the Hill Country floods, including 60 adults and 36 children.
