At least 161 are still unaccounted for after the July Fourth floods that saw the waters of the Guadalupe rise to historic levels in Central Texas, officials with Kerr County said Friday. Authorities have confirmed 103 deaths, 36 of whom are children.

The catastrophic Central Texas floods have claimed at least 121 lives and left 173 missing, as a report reveals that Kerr County officials were repeatedly denied state funding for an emergency flood warning system.

A memorial service was held in Kerr County, Texas on Friday to honor the victims and those still missing from flooding that recently struck the region.

Over 12,000 volunteers have already assisted in Kerr County, according to the Texas Division of Emergency Management.

The number of people reported missing in Kerr County, Texas, as a result of last week’s flash floods continues to soar. Authorities say search teams combing through the debris and destruction there are looking for more than 160 people who disappeared in the raging waters.

Twice, the Texas Division of Emergency Management turned down Kerr County's requests for money to improve flood warnings.

More than $30 million has been raised through the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, with $5 million being distributed Friday, says the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country.

The reporter said that several families were angry because they felt that alerts for the flood did not go out in time.
