While Kerr County officials say they didn't know how bad the July 4 flooding would be, it warned residents nearly eight years ago to "be flood aware" about the ongoing potential for "monstrous and devastating flash floods.

Here's what to know about the deadly flooding, the colossal weather system that drove it and ongoing efforts to identify victims.

Officials in Kerr County, where the majority of the deaths from the July 4 flash floods occurred, have yet to detail what actions they took in the early hours of the disaster.

A flash flood warning is in effect for Ingram, just north of Kerrville, until 6:30 p.m. Residents and visitors are urged to evacuate the area immediately due to rapidly rising waters. The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

Kerr County officials have not provided specifics about any changes, if any, they have made since last week's deadly flooding.

The governor said Tuesday that the state had “assets, resources and personnel” in place before the July 4 floods.

H olding back emotion, Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring Jr. said he never received an individual warning before floodwaters surged into his city, killing dozens and leaving families shattered.

Flash floods last week in Texas caused the Guadalupe River to rise dramatically, reaching three stories high in just two hours
