The search for more than 160 people still missing after last week’s catastrophic floods in Texas has been complicated by more rainfall.

Flash flood warnings were in place in central Texas on Sunday after the rapid rise of the Lampasas River, as first responders searched along the Guadalupe River in the state’s Hill Country for the remaining victims of the 100-year Fourth of July holiday weekend weather event that has killed at least 129 people.

Local officials in Kerrville, an area hit hard by last week’s floods, went door to door shortly after midnight on Sunday to warn residents about the risks, in addition to pushing alerts to their phones, amid criticism for the lack of warnings that were delivered last week.

Search-and-rescue efforts were expected to continue on Monday, depending on conditions, Ingram Fire Department spokesman Brian Lochte told the Associated Press.

“We’re working with a few crews and airboats and SAR (search-and-rescue) boats just in case,” Lochte said.

The National Weather Service advised that the Guadalupe River could rise to almost 15 feet by Sunday afternoon, more than a week after it rose by 26 feet shortly before dawn on the Fourth of July.

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump traveled to Texas on Friday to express their support for the community.

“This is like a giant, giant wave in the Pacific Ocean, that the best surfers in the world would be afraid to surf,” Donald Trump said during a roundtable. “My administration is doing everything in its power to help Texas.”

But the president ripped a reporter as a “very evil person” for asking about criticisms regarding flood warnings and preparations.

“I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances. This was, I guess [Department of Homeland Security Secretary] Kristi [Noem] said a one in 500-, one in 1,000-year [flood],” he said. “Only a bad person would ask a question like that, to be honest with you. I don’t know who you are, but only a very evil person would ask a question like that. I think this has been heroism.”

But during the same event, Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) told reporters that an improved alert system may have mitigated the tragedy, with a special session of Texas’s legislature starting next week as part of the state’s response.

“We are going to work on alerts, we are going to work on every single solution to make sure things like this don’t happen again, not just in this community but in other river basins across the state,” he said.
