"So far, we've evacuated over 850 uninjured people, eight injured people and have recovered 27 deceased fatalities at this time. Of these, 27, 18 are adults. Nine are children. Of that, six of the adults are identified and one of the children are unidentified at this time." //
"One thing I want to tell you and assure you all is that we will not stop until every single person is found. We've got all the resources we need. We're here for the long haul. As I said, numbers will be changing rapidly. But like I said, we will not stop till everybody ... I can't tell you. I've been asked how long this will take. I can't tell you how long it's going to take. It's going to take a while."
The sheriff's office in Kerr County, Texas said more than 800 people had been evacuated from the region as floodwaters receded in the area around the Guadalupe River, about 85 miles (137 km) northwest of San Antonio.
