Texas, flash flooding
Digest more
The official tally of storm-related deaths across Texas rose to 131 on Monday as authorities warned of yet another round of heavy rains 10 days after a Hill Country flash flood that transformed the Guadalupe River into a killer torrent.
A study puts the spotlight on Texas as the leading U.S. state by far for flood-related deaths, with more than 1,000 of them from 1959 to 2019.
Trump never said the above words. We found no evidence in his public statements, interviews or on his social media posts about the Texas floods that he hoped immigrants had died in the flooding. The above video and voice-over is likely AI-generated. As such, we rate this claim as false.
In the survey - which sampled 1,680 U.S. adults - 52% of respondents said that most of the deaths could have been prevented if the government had been more adequately prepared. Twenty-nine percent said the deaths were unavoidable, and 19% said they didn't know.
