New Flood Warning System Greenlit Shortly Before Deadly Texas Disaster
The Wall Street JournalThursday, July 10, 2025 at 12:11:00 AM
Just before a devastating flood hit Texas, a government board—which included the co-owner of Camp Mystic—approved a new warning system designed to detect dangers along the Guadalupe River. The timing raises tough questions about whether better preparedness could have mitigated the disaster.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another story about bureaucratic decisions—it’s about how close we came to potentially saving lives. The fact that a flood warning system was greenlit right before a deadly event underscores both the urgency of such measures and the tragic cost of delays. It’s a stark reminder that disaster preparedness isn’t just paperwork; it’s a race against time.
