  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone.

  • The death toll from flash flooding July 4th in Central Texas continues to rise.

  • At least 128 people are confirmed dead as search crews continue to find bodies.

  • With the disaster, now two weeks old,

  • NPR's Frank Morris reports many volunteers who have been helping with the search are preparing to leave.

  • Volunteers have put in some 900,000 hours.

  • More than 12,000 of them have been working here.

  • But many, like Bo Burgess from Fort Worth, have only one week off to give.

  • Burgess spent his last day volunteering walking about 10 miles of the Guadalupe River,

  • and he says the debris still there was troubling.

  • Just seeing all the clothes and children and necklaces and crosses and goggles and kayaks but really like the children's clothing you know just children's clothing everywhere.

  • Burgess and many other flesh flood volunteers will be welcome at home but misting Kerr County where cleanup efforts continue.

  • Frank Morris, NPR News, Kerr County, Texas.

  • More rain is still forecast in central Texas.

  • A flood watch is in effect again through tonight.

  • Complicating recovery efforts along the Guadalupe River after the devastating July 4 flooding,

  • 160 people at least are still unaccounted for.

  • But as NPR's Amy Held reports, relief may be in sight.

  • South Central Texas could see several more inches of rain with isolated totals up to a foot.

  • This, as crews continue to look for flood victims.
