National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for the areas of Central Texas hit most by the deadly flooding over Fourth of July weekend.

More than 170 people are still believed to be missing a week after the forceful floodwater hit over the July Fourth weekend.

Nearly a week after deadly floods struck Central Texas, search and rescue teams are continuing to probe debris for those still missing.

The reporter said that several families were angry because they felt that alerts for the flood did not go out in time.

After deadly floodwaters swept through Central Texas, there are questions about the timeline of weather alerts and possible gaps in the warning system.

When deadly floods swept through Texas, the National Weather Service issued a series of warnings that should have automatically triggered alerts to be sent to cellphones as the Guadalupe River began to rise.

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

"Catastrophic" flash flooding along the Guadalupe River in Texas from Hunt downstream to Comfort has caused at least 13 deaths, authorities said.

The National Weather Service began sending flash flood warnings that should have triggered cellphone alerts a little after 1 a.m., while local officials began posting on Facebook about four hours later.

Texas forecasters issued a series of early-morning warnings about “life-threatening flooding” along the Guadalupe River.
