Central Texas is grappling with deadly flash floods that have washed away homes and left several people missing, including at least two girls whom first-responders continued searching for on Sunday. Speaking on CNN, Rep. Joaquin Castro said the disaster underscores the growing frequency of extreme weather, adding that “climate change is obviously a part of it.” Castro also faulted staffing shortages at the National Weather Service, saying the absence of key personnel may have hindered timely warnings and response efforts. He called for a federal investigation into how the vacancies arose and whether they worsened the impact of last week’s storm.
