While Texas may feel far from the Northeast, the lessons from the Texas Hill Country disaster matter here, too, particularly as hurricane season ramps up and summer storms become more frequent.

When the precipitation intensified in the early morning hours Friday, many people failed to receive or respond to flood warnings at riverside campsites known to be in the floodplain.

Three days after tragedy struck central Texas on the morning of July 4 with a deadly flash flood that has killed at least 82 people, a timeline of events has begun to come into focus. An unknown number remain missing, including girls attending a summer camp.
