President Donald Trump announced that he signed a "Major Disaster Declaration" for the deadly floods in Texas Hill Country in a post on Truth Social Sunday. The declaration comes as rescue and recovery operations enter a third day following the devastating floods.

"I can't hear you,' was President Trump's answer to reporters who wanted to know if Texas' horrifying updated death toll, now at 78, had to do with federal cuts

Officials said more than 850 people had been rescued after a sudden storm dumped up to 15 inches of rain across the region.
