The flash floods that have devastated Texas are already a difficult crisis to manage. More than 100 people are confirmed dead after the July 4 deluge, and many more remain missing.

Amid rescue efforts after massive flooding in Texas, an illegal drone struck a helicopter involved in an emergency response in Kerr County.

Texas officials say private drones are interfering with flood rescue. This isn't the first time personal drones have caused issues during emergencies.
