**Breaking News: Texas Officials Under Fire as Kerr County Faces Catastrophic Flooding**

Kerr County, Texas, is reeling from a devastating flash flood that has claimed at least 120 lives, raising urgent questions about the preparedness and response of state and local officials. Just days before the disaster struck, Governor Greg Abbott assured the public that resources were in place to handle any emergency. However, the mayor of Kerrville reported no state assistance was seen ahead of the flood, sparking outrage and confusion over the lack of coordination.

As floodwaters roared through the Hill Country, residents were left scrambling for safety. Eyewitness accounts reveal that many were caught off guard, with emergency alerts issued in the early morning hours of July 4th, when most were asleep. The first warning came at 1:14 AM, but for many, it was too late to evacuate. The second alert, issued at 4:30 AM, was met with disbelief as chaos ensued.

The National Weather Service did issue warnings, but questions loom about their effectiveness. Were the alerts timely? Did residents receive them? With the area known as “Flash Flood Alley,” many are asking why more robust warning systems weren’t in place to mitigate the disaster. Local officials are now demanding accountability and immediate answers.

As the state legislature prepares for a special session, flood response and emergency communication systems are at the forefront of discussions. Survivors and families of victims are calling for urgent reforms to ensure this tragedy is never repeated. The stark reality is that Texas is no stranger to natural disasters, yet the response to this crisis has left many feeling abandoned and vulnerable.

With the storm aftermath still unfolding, the community is left grappling with grief and the pressing need for answers. The time for action is now; the lives lost demand a thorough investigation and a commitment to better preparedness in the face of future disasters.
