The president and First Lady Melania Trump met on Friday with local officials on the ground - at one point standing in front of an upended tractor trailer - and surveyed the damage.

"I've never seen anything like it," Trump said, after taking a tour of the devastation.

More than 12,300 volunteers have gathered to help search for the 161 people still missing statewide. Officials said volunteers have been working 10 hours a day.
