At least 109 people died in flash floods that hit central Texas over the weekend, with at least 161 still missing, authorities said in an update on Tuesday afternoon.

Gov. Greg Abbott told reporters in a July 8 press briefing that those figures are likely to rise, due in part to the area’s popularity with campers.
