The death toll in Kerr County crept up to 87 on Tuesday as search and rescue efforts continued in flood-ravaged central Texas, according to officials in the county worst hit by the disaster, which has killed more than 100 people.

Lt. Col. Ben Baker of the Texas Game Wardens, the state’s parks and wildlife department, deflected other questions about how quickly Kerr County officials responded to the flash flooding, saying officials were “focused on bringing people home.”
