At least six dead in 'catastrophic' flooding, Kerr County's top lawmaker confirms

Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly confirmed there have been multiple fatalities in the deadly Texas floods.

The judge, during a press conference around 12pm (1pm EST), shared how some the victims were having to be fingerprinted at a local funeral home so they can be identified.

He noted that one of the victims was completely naked when their body was discovered.

The judge did not identify any of the deceased and declined to confirm the specific number of deaths.

Authorities are expected to provide an updated death toll around 3pm today local time (4pm EST).

Earlier today, Kelly told KVUE and Austin Statesman reporter Tony Plohetski that at least six deaths had been recorded across Kerr County.
