New Delhi, July 8 -- US President Donald Trump will travel to Texas on Friday (July 11) to visit areas affected by recent severe flooding.

The death toll from catastrophic flooding in central Texas climbed past 100 on Tuesday (July 8), with Kerr County alone accounting for at least 87 fatalities. The disaster, which struck in the early hours of Friday, has been described as a "100-year catastrophe" by Trump.

Among the victims were at least 27 girls and camp counselors at Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River that was housing around 750 people when the waters rose with devastating speed.

"The river came up 26 feet in just 45 minutes," said Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly. "Nobody saw this coming."
