>>509781669 (OP)This was legitimately a freak accident that not much could have really helped with.
The time line so far
In the space of 45 minutes in the early hours of Friday morning, the Guadalupe River rose by 26ft (8m), causing it to burst its banks.
By then there had been several flood warnings issued:
On Wednesday, the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) activated state emergency response resources because of "increased threats of flooding" in parts of west and central Texas
On Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service (NWS) issued a flood watch that highlighted Kerr County, central Texas, as a place at high risk of flash flooding overnight
At 01:14 local time (06:14 GMT) on Friday a flash flood warning was issued for Kerr County
At 04:03 local time (09:30 GMT) an emergency flash flood warning was issued for Kerr County, followed by another for the Guadalupe River at 05:34
So the actual issue became semi apparent around 1 AM local time, but when flooding actually started at 4 it was pretty much over for anyone not already out was done for.
Stuff like this hits every now and then. South Eastern Kentucky back in 22 got hit by a massive flood that happened in the middle of the night. People usually warned that happened because the water was in their house.
This was just a shits fucked situation that wasnโt going to not happen
