Officials in Kerr County, Texas — where 27 campers and counselors at a Christian summer camp were killed in catastrophic flooding — had discussed installing a flood warning system

While Kerr County officials say they didn't know how bad the July 4 flooding would be, it warned residents nearly eight years ago to "be flood aware" about the ongoing potential for "monstrous and devastating flash floods.

Here's what to know about the deadly flooding, the colossal weather system that drove it and ongoing efforts to identify victims.

A flash flood warning is in effect for Ingram, just north of Kerrville, until 6:30 p.m. Residents and visitors are urged to evacuate the area immediately due to rapidly rising waters. The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

The governor said Tuesday that the state had “assets, resources and personnel” in place before the July 4 floods.

Kerr County officials have not provided specifics about any changes, if any, they have made since last week's deadly flooding.

H olding back emotion, Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring Jr. said he never received an individual warning before floodwaters surged into his city, killing dozens and leaving families shattered.

In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.

The threat of heavy rain is “slight” for this weekend, but with the ground fully saturated in Kerr County even small amounts of rainfall could cause flooding.
