KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Rescue crews in Texas kept a wary eye on river levels Monday, hoping to resume the search for people still missing from catastrophic flooding that pummeled the central part of the state earlier this month and killed at least 132 people.

A flood watch was in effect for more than a dozen counties as authorities resumed the search for victims of the July 4 tragedy.

Over 130 people have died after heavy rain pounded Kerr County, Texas, early Friday, leading to "catastrophic" flooding, the sheriff said.

Abbott listed that rescues took place in San Saba and Schleicher County, and evacuations occurred in Lampasas, Menard, Kimble and Sutton counties. A total of 131 are dead and roughly 101 remain missing-97 of which are from the Greater Kerrville area-following continued search and rescue efforts more than one week after the devastating Hill Country floods.

FOX 7's Rudy Koski talked to Gov. Abbott about some of the ideas that are being pitched to prevent disasters like the deadly flooding in the Texas Hill Country.
