"An upgraded flood warning system would have been nice to have but probably would have made little difference"

That is correct. This rise of water was at the north fork of the Guadalupe at about 1:30 am. It rose fast downstream by 4 am when the county was asleep. A tragedy that happens about every 50 years. The thunder and lightning woke me up about 3:30. Natl Weather Service alerts began shortly thereafter on my phone. I live about a mile from the river in Kerrville. Got 3" of rain in the gauge from that downpour but no flooding of the streets near me.

Do the people upstream near Hunt and Ingram where the camps are located get a decent cell phone signal, I wonder?
