Not a good look, dumbass.
Texas countyโs emergency management coordinator was likely asleep
Austin, Texas โ
In critical minutes and hours when deadly flash floods hurtled down the Guadalupe River washing away childrenโs camps and RVs, the county official responsible for coordinating emergency response was likely asleep at home, the Kerr County sheriff tells CNN.
When asked if he knew whether Kerr County Emergency Management Coordinator W.B. โDubโ Thomas was working the night before the early morning July 4 flooding that killed at least 136 people in the state, Sheriff Larry Leitha said: โIโm sure he was at home asleep at that time,โ and added that he was also asleep. (emphasis mine)
This revelation that, as a flurry of National Weather Service alerts sounding increasingly dire warnings came in, the key emergency official in charge was likely not awake to receive the information โ has not been reported before.
