Yea, this was like 1 in a hundred years flood.
Reality is, a lot of us have seen flash flood watches or warnings and do very little to change our day other than being a little more alert.
I don’t think there’s any doubt the camp failed, and likely some local officials. But if we’re being pragmatic, we need to think of ways to prevent it.
In Texas, I think they could make a different noise for the tornado sirens to use for other types of emergencies. And I think a different classification for extreme flooding could be used for the whole country when it goes passed a little water in the basements and roadways.
I think it would serve well to have an extreme classification that people associate with the danger of a tornado. I know even if my phone is on silent, a tornado warning will still sound off loud. Maybe we do that with other extreme threats too.
