What the Evidence Shows
The claim states that at least 161 people are still missing after catastrophic floods in Texas, according to Governor Greg Abbott. The search results consistently confirm this figure, with several sources specifying that the number of missing persons, 161, is primarily in Kerr County, one of the hardest-hit areas. CNN and ABC News both explicitly mention Gov.
Abbott's statement about 161 people missing in Kerr County alone. WTOP News and KTSM 9 News also report the same figure attributed to Gov. Abbott.
While CBS Texas reports a lower number of missing persons (41) in a broader Central Texas context, the higher figure of 161 missing is specifically tied to Kerr County, which aligns with the claim's context of catastrophic flooding in Texas. Therefore, the claim is accurate and well-supported by multiple independent news outlets quoting the governor's statements.
