The warning system to include sirens was not expensive, the units would cost around $40,000 each.

Nearly a decade before catastrophic flooding in south Texas killed at least 104 people, including 27 girls and counselors from a beloved summer camp, the states Division of Emergency Management denied requests from the county where the camp is held for a $1 million grant to improve its flood warning system.

Summer camps were top of mind during county leaders discussions of the project, meeting minutes show. Then County Commissioner Tom Moser envisioned designating point people at each camp who would monitor a website and alert camp counsellors and attendees if evacuation was needed.

In June 2016, President Barack Obama declared a major disaster in Texas after torrential rains killed 20 people and destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses in the states southeast corner.

It unlocked more than $100 million in money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA to both clean up the damage and help communities across the state prepare for the next disaster.

Kerr County, part of a region whose rivers? and creeks high flooding potential earned it the nickname Flash Flood Alley, was among the communities that sought preventative funding.

It asked MANY TIMES for $1 million to build a flood warning system that would have upgraded 20 water gauge systems, added new water level sensors and posts, and created software and a website to distribute that information to the public in real time.

We've been trying to get a new Flood Warning System here for YEARS, Thomas, the countys emergency management coordinator, said at the November 2020 meeting. We just havent been able to do it

Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice said staff at some of the summer camps on the Guadalupe were monitoring the rising river at 3:30 a.m. on the day of the flood and managed to move campers to higher ground.

Asked by reporters why mandatory evacuations were not issued by the city or county, Rice said, Evacuations are a delicate balance because if you evacuate too late, you then risk putting buses, or cars, or vehicles, or campers on roads trying to get them out, which can make it more challenging because these flash floods happen very quickly.

When pressed on why evacuations were not announced far in advance of the storm, Rice added

Its like disasters in Texas everywhere its very tough to make those calls because what we also dont want to do is cry wolf.

This is What Led to The FLASH FLOOD Emergency

The Weather Patterns

Extraordinary rainfall rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour in some areas such as Kerr County and Mason County equated to up to 18 inches in some spots, according to measurements from the National Weather Service

That volume of water falling over relatively short periods of time thats a disaster waiting to happen, -Marshall Shepherd, director of the Atmospheric Sciences Program at the University of Georgia and former president of the American Meteorological Society

Ted Cruz ENSURED Trump Spending Bill Slashed Weather Forecasting Funding, Then Went on Vacation

Senator on vacation abroad while Texas was hit by deadly floods, a disaster worsened by forecasting cuts

The Texas senator ensured the Republican spending bill slashed funding for weather forecasting, only to then go on vacation to Greece while his state was hit by deadly flooding, a disaster critics say was worsened by cuts to forecasting.

Cruz, who infamously fled Texas for Cancun when a crippling winter storm ravaged his state in 2021, was seen visiting the Parthenon in Athens with his wife Heidi on Saturday, a day after a flash flood along the Guadalupe River in central Texas killed more than 104 people, including dozens of children and counsellors at a camp.

The Greece trip ended in time for Cruz to appear at the site of the disaster on Monday morning to decry the tragedy and promise a response from lawmakers.
