KERR COUNTY, Texas (KBTX) - President Donald Trump travelled to Kerrville on Friday to survey the destruction left behind by deadly flooding over the Fourth of July Weekend and to meet with local officials on what comes next for Kerr County.

Linda Bason and Deana Hillock checked into the HTR campground on July 3 for a mother-daughter weekend. The next morning, the Kerrville camp was destroyed.

President Trump and First Lady Melania met with families in the Texas Hill Country and praised first responders amid tense talks on flood disaster response.

President Donald Trump on Friday toured the devastation from catastrophic flooding in Texas and lauded state and local officials, even amid mounting criticism that they may have failed to warn residents quickly enough that a deadly wall of water was coming their way.

The governor said Tuesday that the state had “assets, resources and personnel” in place before the July 4 floods.

Texas officials face questions over who monitored weather and warned of floodwaters heading toward camps and homes.

A large memorial is growing on Water Street in Kerrville with flowers and photos of each of the victims from Friday’s tragic flooding.

Michael Abner said he was awakened at 5 a.m. on the Fourth of July by the owner of an RV park in Kerrville, Texas, where he was staying as floodwater began reaching his RV.

A "Wall of Hope" appeared on Wednesday in downtown Kerrville, providing a space for people to pray, cry, or honor the victims.
