Volunteers combing through debris piles from the devastating Central Texas flooding had to sniff out decaying bodies in the “chaotic” initial days of the search-and-rescue efforts. Ryan Logue, a resident of Kerrville, Texas, jumped to volunteer with the United Cajun Navy, a search-and-rescue nonprofit, as the floodwaters consumed the communities around him. He said the first days of the efforts were challenging as volunteers tried to sift through miles of heavy debris in the Guadalupe River for the missing without the help of cadaver dogs.
