More rain will hit Texas this weekend, with localized amounts as high as 8 inches, only a week after the region was inundated with flash floods. National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists issued widespread flood watches across the Lonestar State on Friday, warning of additional heavy rainfall that could cause further flooding.

Weather warnings predicted devastation from both the Texas floods and Hurricane Helene. But in both disasters, people were left in harm’s way.

Officials in Kerr County, where the majority of the deaths from the July 4 flash floods occurred, have yet to detail what actions they took in the early hours of the disaster.

Some governors and mayors are concerned over how current or potential cuts to agencies will impact how the government can respond in the future to major weather events.

As ominous storm clouds gather once more over Texas, the desperate search for more than 150 individuals still missing since the catastrophic July 4 floods has now stretched into its second week.
