🚨🇺🇸 DISPATCH AUDIO EXPOSES 90-MINUTE DELAY IN TEXAS FLOOD ALERT

At 4:22 a.m. Friday, as floodwaters surged through Texas’ Hill Country, a firefighter begged Kerr County dispatchers to warn residents near Hunt.

The response:

“We have to get that approved.”

The first alert went out XX minutes later. 

Some didn’t land until after XX a.m., nearly six hours after the initial plea. 

By then, hundreds were caught in the flood.

Sheriff Larry Leitha refused to explain the delay, saying answers will come “after” rescue ops.
