With the next Texas flood season just months away, Kerr County officials say they’re in a race to build a long-planned flood warning system estimated to cost up to $5 million — and they’re depending on the state to contribute a large share of the cost.
Last week Kerr officials said the system will be made up of sirens, rain gauges, a website to track flood conditions and signs with lights that flash during dangerous flooding. The website is already in the works, but the county says it needs help to fund the rest.
