The White House and Republican Sen. Ted Cruz defended the National Weather Service and accused some Democrats of playing politics in the wake of devastating floods in Texas. "I think this is not a time for partisan finger-pointing and attacks," Cruz said at a news conference with local officials in Kerr County on Monday morning.

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioned Public Citizen Climate Program Director David Arkush over his past writings.

The threat of heavy rain is “slight” for this weekend, but with the ground fully saturated in Kerr County even small amounts of rainfall could cause flooding.

"I hope that everyone knows, prayers work and God is still out there," Kerrville resident Donna Ragsdale said.
