Around a week after the fatal floods in Texas, the number of dead continues. In the particularly affected area of Kerr County, the authorities now have 103 dead, including 36 children. According to matching media reports, a total of around 130 people died in Texas through the floods, and many are still missing.
The danger has not yet been banned: weather authorities warn of new floods by Sunday evening (local time). There could be heavy rains that could lead to new floods.
“Washington Post”: Important alarm system has not been activated
Meanwhile, the “Washington Post” reported that the local authorities had not activated a particularly far -reaching alarm system at the climax of the catastrophe. Only SMS warnings were sent to previously registered people. The authorities could have vibrated via the more powerful system and had a shrill tone played over it, the report said.
The resentment is growing against the local authorities – they are accused of having to warn the population much earlier. US President Donald Trump had traveled to Republican Texas on Friday and had dismissed criticism of might be late alarm reports.
