Texas officials and Hill Country leaders knew the risks of flooding along the Guadalupe. Warnings went unheeded, flood warnings, river gauges and sirens unfunded — and more than 130 Texans died.
Another potentially life-threatening flooding event took place across Central Texas on Sunday morning, with torrential rain sending rivers and streams above their banks, forcing officials to stop search efforts along the Guadalupe River that had been underway since a catastrophic and deadly flash flooding event over the Fourth of July holiday.
With more than 170 still missing, communities must reconcile how to pick up the pieces around a waterway that remains both a wellspring and a looming menace.
