I have been following this story. It is tragic with many dead and missing. The worst hit is a summer camp for girls called Camp Mystic in Hunt TX. This is Texas Hill Country with limestone hills & cliffs and chalky clay soil and the Guadaloupe River cuts through it. It had been undergoing severe drought and the land was baked hard like in an oven. That is it couldn’t absorb the rainwater and flooding quickly developed. The news reported the first flood watch was issued around 1:30 in the afternoon but the “considerable” tag that triggers cell phone alerts was not issued until around 1:00 in the morning. The river crested around 4:00 in the morning. It was reported the river rose 20 feet and dragged houses, cars, and people with it.
