Central Texas faces potential record-breaking floods a year after the Camp Mystic disaster, with Governor Greg Abbott declaring a disaster for 59 counties. The current storm is expected to exceed last year’s rainfall of 20.29 inches, causing rivers to surge and at least one fatality. Texas lawmakers have since implemented new flood preparedness laws, including youth camp regulations and outdoor warning sirens.
