Storyline: As central Texas grapples with the aftermath of its deadliest flood in decades, residents in Kerrville voiced a mix of gratitude, skepticism, and deep concern over federal disaster efforts during U.S. President Donald Trump's visit on Friday. Trump's arrival in the state came a week after the severe flooding killed at least 120 people and left more than 150 others missing in Texas, marking a historic flood. Trump toured Kerrville, one of the hardest-hit areas, to survey the damage and meet local leaders. "For him to come over here and just validate people's losses and people want to see that. They want to see a president who's going to stand behind them, especially at a time like this," said Stephanie Beecher-Kennison, a Kerrville resident. For other residents, however, the visit alone is not enough. Many are hoping for a promise of federal assistance. Help has been pouring into the community in the form of food, clothes, and shelter. However, many expressed anxiety over long-term recovery efforts. Local media reports suggest that recent layoffs and budget cuts may have slowed the efforts of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the critical first hours after the flood, but the White House denies those claims. With the Trump administration pushing plans to shut down the federal agency that typically leads disaster relief, residents worry that fewer resources may be available in the months ahead.
