Texas lawmaker urges state officials to prepare for future floods - CNN
Texas officials must prepare to deal with future flooding events, particularly given the impact of climate change, Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro said this morning. An intense search is on for more than 20 girls from a central Texas summer camp who are still missing after massive flooding hit the state early Friday, with first responders from Austin, San Antonio and other areas moving in to help, Castro told Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
