Nearly a week after catastrophic flooding in Texas claimed over a hundred lives, authorities are under scrutiny for their actions during the crucial early hours of the disaster. The rapidly rising Guadalupe River, fueled by intense storms, swept through communities, leaving a trail of destruction. Officials, including the Kerr County Sheriff, have yet to provide clear explanations of their responses as the floodwaters approached. Residents and victims’ families are demanding answers, questioning whether more could have been done to warn and evacuate those in harm’s way. The lack of transparency has intensified the ongoing debate about disaster preparedness and response in the face of increasingly severe weather events. Investigations are ongoing to determine the effectiveness of the initial response and whether protocol was followed, but for now, the lack of clear communication has left many seeking accountability amidst the devastation.
