Sen. Ted Cruz said on Monday that an inquiry is needed into why campers were still asleep in their cabins when flash floods swept through a site in Texas, stressing that “something went wrong” with the emergency warning process. Speaking at the scene, Cruz called for a “serious retrospective” to determine whether local officials or camp operators failed to act on advance alerts. He acknowledged that warnings from the National Weather Service were issued “hours before the flood became a true emergency level,” and rejected claims that agency budget cuts hampered the response. Cruz urged state and federal authorities to strengthen flood-notification systems, particularly for facilities housing children, to ensure quicker evacuations in future storms.
