Two weeks after deadly floods swept through Texas, officials dropped the number of still-missing people in the hardest-hit area to three — down from nearly 160 in the days following the July Fourth weekend floods.

In order to clarify who was actually missing, state and local officials worked to verify the status of each individual who had been reported missing.

Authorities determined that three people are still missing from the floods, a sharp drop from the approximately 100 people authorities had previously said were unaccounted for.
