Greg Abbott: “We've seen flooding in regions across the state, and we have actually seen minimal property damage.”

“Before I get into that, however, I do want to provide kind of a brief update and status comment about where we are with the torrential rains that Texas has sustained over the past few days. We've seen flooding in regions across the state, and we have actually seen minimal property damage. Doesn't mean there's been none, but there's not been enough for me to officially issue a disaster declaration. That said, we know that the effects of the rainfall will continue to surface over the coming days.” (15:52–16:02)
