It's what always happens in Texas. People see cheap areas to build and recreate in without doing any historical research about risks. Local governments are also often inept and reactive because they're small town hillbillies who don't believe in climate change either and perhaps aren't even full-time public administrators. It's 97.5 for riverine flooding on the FEMA all causes risk map tool (until DOGE defunds that). Build and camp on high ground in high drainage density areas, create permanent reminders in the form of flood gauges to maintain awareness, and refund ATX NWS for the 2 senior flood prediction forecasters who were pushed out. And practiced preparedness plans and require insurance in AE flood zones for all those who live in those areas. Flash Flood Alley exists from Medina county to the south to Cooke and Grayson counties in the north. Uvalde had 22" fall in 3 hours in 1935. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Flood_Alley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Flood_Alley https://www.cityofdenton.com/ImageRepository/Document?documentId=6316 https://www.cityofdenton.com/ImageRepository/Document?docume... Edit: I live on high ground in FEMA zone X within a mile / 2 km of the Guadalupe river.
