Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Kristen Wright.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott says at least 161 people are known to be missing in the Kerr County area.
Officials say they'll keep searching for the missing, even as the days pass.
Today is day six since devastating flash floods upended life in Central Texas.
NPR's Frank Morris reports the death toll is now at 109.
The Guadalupe River buried some of its victims in huge, dense jumbles of logs and steel debris.
That's why they're hard to find.
On a well-searched section of river near Ingram, Texas,
volunteers with the group Texas EquiSearch think they found another body.
Mark Edwards, the group's field operation manager,
points to heavy equipment, carefully disassembling a tangled mess.
And so we begin to remove that tree pile.
And some of those tree piles were 30 and 40 foot tall.
wrapped in RVs and cars up against the trees.
Edward says there are miles and miles of scenes like this along the Guadalupe River.
