Torrential rains before dawn on Friday deluged the Guadalupe River, which burst its banks and killed dozens of people, leaving behind mangled piles of debris, trees and cars.

A massive Texas search and cleanup effort was set to enter its fifth day Tuesday in response to Guadalupe River flooding that surged through the area on July 4.

Emergency responders kept hope alive as they combed through fallen trees and other debris that littered hard-hit central Texas communities on the fifth day after devastating floods killed more than 100.
