Heavy rains in Central Texas are complicating the recovery mission in the state’s Hill Country, just over one week after catastrophic flooding killed at least 120 people. NBC News’ Ryan Chander reports from hard-hit Kerr County.

At least 161 are still unaccounted for after the July Fourth floods that saw the waters of the Guadalupe rise to historic levels in Central Texas, officials with Kerr County said Friday. Authorities have confirmed 103 deaths, 36 of whom are children.

Search crews continued the grueling task of recovering the missing as more potential flash flooding threatened Texas Hill Country.

Kerr County authorities issued a new Guadalupe River evacuation notice and suspended search operations as more heavy rains inundated the area early

The alert says there is a high chance the Guadalupe River will flood on Sunday. They’re asking for all people, equipment and vehicles to move away from the river immediately. They also said all volunteer operations are suspended until further notice, stating “safety of lives is the highest priority.”

In the days after the devastating flood that killed dozens in Central Texas, local officials have deflected direct questions about preparations and warnings in advance of the storm that struck July Fourth.

In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.
