@abcnews: "Stand by, we have to get that approved with our supervisor." Kerr County, Texas, officials waited 90 minutes to send an emergency alert advising residents about the flooding, according to audio obtained by ABC affiliate KSAT. By the time the alert was sent, hundreds of people had already been swept away by the floodwaters. ABC News’ Trevor Ault says Kerr County officials are "committed to doing a full investigation into the entire response,” but their focus at the moment is on “rescue and reunification.” #texas #flood #news#abcnews
no more gatekeeping just go and read the book the money trance by bill vostin and thank me later for changing your life

It’s because they are anticipating the enormous class action lawsuit from all of those parents of dead children. Which is exactly what needs to happen.

The area is literally called "Flash Flood Alley". How did they not know the area would flood!? Oh I forgot, Obama and Biden sent funding to Kerr County and they denied it. The citizens of Kerr County, Republicans mind you, said not to accept any help from Democrats cause theyre evil. They also said the alarm system they COULD install might go off due to false positives, and they don't like those loud sirens. Did I forget to mention the funds Biden sent were used for the Sheriff and Police to the tune of $7M? Kerr County is responsible for their negligence, Period!

wanting to know if earlier warnings would have helped is valid.

@James: Republicans and Greg Abbott here are under fire and they’re trying to hang on to everything they can . The Abbott crime syndicate operates with impunity daily and there’s no law agency holding them to account. also.

The real issue here is we are having natural disasters we are not equipped to handle because we have continued to ignore the effects of climate change. And I’m not a big enviro person by any means but it’s damn obvious what’s going on. 🤷♀️

Kerr county officials dropped the ball because of their personal political beliefs. they cost that community lives. but they will continue to vote those people in and blame the other side for all their woes.

Why in the world did it take them? 90 minutes peoples lives could’ve been saved. They knew on Wednesday. There was bad weather coming. People hadn’t even left their houses to go camping yet. This is an epic failure by Kerr County.

This is Uvalde 2.0. They will point the fingers at anyone and not take accountability. Meanwhile Greg Abbott is calling a special session to Gerrymander the democrat congressional districts bc he is afraid of losing

I thought the idea of code red was to out to anyone in the area not just people who signed up. Someone reported they didn’t send the warnings out to all phones tho

Can you ask them about not wanting the ARP money in 2021, then keeping it and spending it on the Sheriff’s department instead of the warning system so that it wouldn’t go to a blue state.
