Here are the affected areas as death toll rises - At least 160 people are still missing in Central Texas, as death toll rises to 129

Deadly flooding in the flash flood alley of Texas is raising questions about warnings. Here's a preliminary (but not conclusive) analysis.

As early as July 2, officials at the Texas Division of Emergency Management, or TDEM, were publishing news releases warning that “heavy rainfall with the potential to cause flash flooding is anticipated across West Texas and the Hill Country” and were preparing resources such as swift-water rescue boat squads.

Kerr County failed to secure a warning system, even as local officials remained aware of the risks and as billions of dollars were available for similar projects.

Renowned Texas meteorologist Troy Kimmel spoke on Inside Texas Politics about the forecast preceding the deadly flooding in the Hill Country.

“Another thing about the Texas flooding is that it happened on a holiday weekend when a lot of people were camping at places along the river. In our area, people often travel to southern Missouri or the Ozarks to escape the city, and all the rivers and creeks there can flood similarly.”

KERR COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — State and local officials are calling out federal forecasters amid deadly flooding in the Texas Hill Country over the extended Fourth of July weekend.

Four days have passed since anyone was found alive in the aftermath of the floods in Kerr County, Texas, officials said Tuesday.

After outrage from Democrats over Gov. Greg Abbott's call to draw new congressional district lines, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dustin Burrows said Friday they are in "lockstep."
