Texas faces a watery dilemma! The flood situation in Kerr County, Texas, showcases the pitfalls of trusting government flood "control" measures. Despite 98 years of regulation, people remain vulnerable to the whims of abrupt floods. The belief in river alarms alone for safety is, frankly, catastrophic. The rivers aren't listening to bureaucratic paperwork when they decide to surge in the dead of night. Governmental ineptitude at its finest, ignoring nature’s raw, unforgiving power. Those lives deserve more than empty promises and futile alarms.
