Officials in Kerr County, Texas — where 27 campers and counselors at a Christian summer camp were killed in catastrophic flooding — had discussed installing a flood warning system

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.

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

More than 170 people are still believed to be missing a week after the forceful floodwater hit over the July Fourth weekend.

Public officials in the area have come under repeated criticism amid questions about the timeline of what happened and why widespread warnings were

The threat of heavy rain is “slight” for this weekend, but with the ground fully saturated in Kerr County even small amounts of rainfall could cause flooding.
