📰 News we're reading

• What another Texas flood revealed about the state's warning system (grist.org) — Severe flooding along the Guadalupe River again hit areas around Comfort, where residents watched water tear through the valley and gauges near town marked dangerous levels. The story explains how new sirens, river gauges, and alert systems—many still incomplete—helped reduce deaths compared with last year’s disaster. It also highlights ongoing gaps in Kerr County’s warning network that still leave Comfort-area residents relying heavily on neighbors and personal vigilance.
