@todayshow: Central Texas has once again been hit with heavy rains and flooding, prompting rescues and evacuations just 10 days after catastrophic flooding hit the region and killed more than 130 people across the state. Regarding the Fourth of July weekend floods, more questions are being raised about whether local officials could have done more to warn those in flood zones. NBC's Morgan Chesky's spoke with Kerrville City Manager Dalton on whether there was enough communication that day. Rice said he’s unsure if he received an alert from the National Weather Service, which was sent around 1 a.m. July 4. "I actually think I have my weather report stuff turned off if I’m being honest," Rice told Chesky. "Because one with my family, with first responders, again, I’m in it every single day. My phone stays on 24 hours, 7 days a week. We’re in constant communication with emergency responders." "So whether my stuff is on or not is really a moot point because we have teams of experts that can navigate these types of situations, he continued.

There are so many in Kerr county who have absolutely made fools of themselves, this man included. It's so frustrating because Hill country floods all the time, this isn't a rare occurrence. From suggesting they don't take money to address this issue because it was sent by the Biden administration, to misappropriating those funds for upgrades to the sheriff's department in a low crime area and increasing public servant stipends, it's easy to be angry enough to write them all off. But these people have blood on their hands and my heart breaks for those hurting because of this unbelievable display of ego, carelessness, and poor leadership.
