Texas, flash flood

Dick Eastland, the Camp Mystic owner who pushed for flood alerts on the Guadalupe River, was killed in last week’s deadly surge.
The data also highlights critical risks in other areas along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, revealing more than twice as many Americans live in flood prone areas than FEMA's maps show.
Kerr County had discussed buying such things as water gauges and sirens after previous flood disasters. But as with many rural Texas counties, cost was an issue.
Records released Tuesday show Camp Mystic met state regulations for disaster procedures, but details of the plan remain unclear.
At least 27 campers and counselors were killed at Camp Mystic during the devastating Texas floods. Some are still missing.
