Episode notes
Why Texas Floods Are So Deadly
- Texas Hill Country is very prone to flash floods due to its hilly, rocky geography and thin topsoil.
- Climate change increases heavy rainfall, making extreme floods more likely in this region.
Warnings Were Insufficient in Texas
- Care County lacked sirens and river gauges for flood warnings due to funding and cost concerns.
- Many victims didn't receive timely alerts, partly because cell service was spotty and some had no phones.
Flood Alerts Were Properly Issued
- Experts say the National Weather Service did all it could with alerts and staff during the flood.
- Extreme rainfall events like this will become more common due to global warming.
