Keep safe in Kerrville TX

I'm sure there are a number of things looking back that could have been done but that's in hindsight. No one could have foreseen a catastrophic event of this nature occurring in just a matter of hours. It's just an unimaginable horrific tragedy.

I am always flood aware . I won't camp anywhere near a source that looks like it could flood. I realize that often the nicest sites are in low areas with nice trees but it's not worth the risk.

Most of this area has no cell phone service.

I figured that.

From a local meteorologist who is well respected.

One problem I see is people are so overloaded with warnings and most times not much happens they tend to ignore them. They even shut off the warnings that come on their phones.
They were talking about installing warning sirens on the news tonight. That may help in the future.

I am one that has shut off warnings on phone.

The sirens would be useful if they cover enough area along river.

I think the bigger issue is no one trusts meteorologists.

Doesn’t help that the press conference on cloud seeding by the CEO of the company that was seeding this storm was all about why they didn’t create this situation.

Texas was having record rain, but the ceo had a quota to fulfill so “in compliance with the contract “ they where seeding anyway.

Weather manipulation was finally banned in Florida, but Texas signed a new contract. And everyone is saying “nothing to see here”
