While Texas may feel far from the Northeast, the lessons from the Texas Hill Country disaster matter here, too, particularly as hurricane season ramps up and summer storms become more frequent.

Search efforts continue for a fourth day with more than 80 people confirmed dead following flash floods in central Texas.

Rescuers maneuvering through challenging terrain continued their desperate search for the missing, including 11 girls and a counselor from the camp. How many more remain unaccounted for across the Texas Hill Country and beyond remains unclear as authorities haven’t given an estimate even though it has been three days since the storm began pounding the state.
