Description
U.S. President Donald Trump extended major a disaster declaration to more Texas counties ahead of his visit to flood-ravaged Central Texas.
As he left the White House, the president told reporters that "it's a horrible thing" what happened in Texas with the recent deadly floods.
He's heading to Kerrville, where the rising Guadalupe River killed at least 120 people.
"Nobody can even believe it," he said. "That much water, that fast.”
Trump on Thursday approved a request from Texas Governor Greg Abbott to extend the major disaster declaration beyond Kerr County to eight additional counties, making them eligible for direct financial assistance to recover and rebuild.
