New round of flash flooding brings more evacuations as Kristi Noem denies report she delayed FEMA response - Death toll stands at 129 as heavy rains again inundate Texas Hill Country hindering search

President Donald Trump has avoided talk of scrapping the federal disaster response agency after the catastrophic flash flood in Texas that killed more than 100 people, including children at an all-girls camp.

Investigators suspended the search for missing people in the aftermath of flooding in Texas last week amid a level 3 alert for more potential floods as forecasters predict heavy rain through Monday.

At least 24 people were dead and many missing after torrential rains unleashed flash floods along the Guadalupe River in Texas.

Just weeks ago, President Donald Trump said he wanted to begin “phasing out” the Federal Emergency Management Agency after this hurricane season to “wean off of FEMA” and “bring it down to the state level.

"It's not community to community. It's a national system," Sen. Maria Cantwell said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

Another flash flooding threat halted search efforts for the Texas flooding victims on Sunday. FOX Weather Correspondent Katie Byrne reports from Kerrville, Texas where she spoke to search volunteers waiting for the rain to stop to continue their important work.
