At least 81 people have died in catastrophic floods in Texas, with the governor warning of more rain to come. Despite previous concerns about flood risks to youth camps, Texas lawmakers failed to pass a bill this year aimed at improving local flood warning systems. Officials had pushed for a better warning system years before this disaster, yet Kerrville lacked the weather sirens used by other cities. There is also a dispute between Texas officials and the National Weather Service regarding the effectiveness of the weather forecasts leading up to the floods.
