The Fourth of July flood bore a striking similarity to the Hill Country flood that killed 10 summer campers in 1987.
In the following years, officials took little action to protect against the next storm. bit.ly/3UtprvG

As I watched the TV news reports about the Texas floods a month ago, I felt compelled to put my thoughts and concerns down on paper and ended up writing an opinion-editorial (op-ed) piece.
The Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM), that I belong to, graciously offered to post the op-ed on their website and it is available to read here floods.org/author/kevincoult… .

Flooding from #Milton will be DEADLY! Roads will be washed out— do not attempt to leave your place of shelter when the storm starts for any reason. Driving conditions will be impossible. Listen to your local officials & remember only 6 inches of moving water can knock you down.
