The system worked. AccuWeather and NWS were spot on and warned back to July 2. Some ignored the eventual grave flash flood warnings and didn’t ANTICIPATE the intensity of the flooding. I’m shocked that camps of that magnitude didn’t have protocols, procedures, communication and night shift personnel for SHTF contingencies like this.
I watched an interview with Joe Bastardi yesterday. He said the NWS did everything right, backing up other weather forecasters.

Exactly. People don’t watch the weather forecast anymore.
It looks like that to me as well, otherwise no one would have evacuated before the flood.
These people know that they are in a flood area. The vigilant ones were paying attention. The girls camp has been portrayed as upscale. They could afford more weather equipment since they were in the flood area. I’m not seeing why this should be a public expense.
BTW - I live in an area that has occasional tornadoes. There is no public warning system other than the standard weather alerts. It’s up to us to pay attention and that’s how it should be.
