00:00It came like a wave in the dark and left behind heartbreak across Texas.
00:04Over the 4th of July weekend, flash floods struck the Texas Hill Country, killing over
00:09100 people.
00:10Many were asleep when 12 inches of rain hit in just hours, swelling the Guadalupe River
00:15by 26 feet in just 45 minutes.
00:19Among the dead were 30 children, and more than 160 people are still missing, including
00:24girls from a Christian summer camp.
00:27Rescue teams, with dogs and helicopters, are digging through dangerous piles of debris.
00:32Over 440 people were saved, but the last live rescue was days ago.
00:37Survivors described it as a pitch-black wall of death.
00:40And many say they got no warning.
00:43Officials now face tough questions.
00:44Why wasn't the alarm sounded earlier?
00:47Why weren't camps evacuated when the danger was clear?
00:50Local leaders blame poor cell service and say no one saw this coming.
00:54Reports from last year warned that the area was due for even worse floods.
00:58Now, grief mixes with anger as families search for answers.
01:02And loved ones.
