A grief-stricken Texas is asking whether meteorologists and local officials did enough to prevent flood devastation.

Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday provided an update on the devastating floods that have struck Texas. At least 79 have been killed and more than 40 people are missing.

After some officials in Texas appeared to blame the NWS for underestimating the rainfall, former Weather Service officials told the New York Times newspaper that the forecasts were as good as they could have been given the huge amounts of rainfall and storm's abrupt escalation.

Rescuers continue to search for an estimated 20 girls who were at Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas when deadly floods from the Guadalupe River swept through the camp.
