AccuWeather's Chief Meteorologist claimed that the early warning of life-threatening floods sent to Hunt, Texas, 30 minutes prior to the National Weather Service's alert could have prevented the tragedy. The alert specified that flooding was imminent and urged for immediate precautions. Despite the late-night timing of the flood event, there was still time to act as floodwaters hadn’t peaked. The preparedness of Camp Mystic staff has come under scrutiny, especially after submitting an emergency disaster plan shortly before the incident.
AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter revealed that forecasters sent a life-threatening flood alert 30 minutes before the National Weather Service, specifically targeting Hunt, Texas.
The alert stated that flooding was imminent, urging individuals to avoid flooding-prone areas and to be prepared to quickly move to higher ground.
Porter emphasized the need for constant monitoring of severe weather warnings, stating that someone must be vigilant for public safety 24/7.
Questions are now being raised about the preparedness of Camp Mystic staff, which had submitted an emergency disaster plan just days before the tragic floods.
