River Sentry Flood Warning is a Liberty Hill business that created flash flood warning systems. They warned people in Ingram this morning:
"At Approximately 0332 AM, six of our RS-1A siren towers were involved in a flash flood intervention after detecting high water at Howdy's and River Run Campground near Ingram, Texas.
All units activated, triggering the immediate evacuation of the camp ground and surrounding residents who were awoken by the towers.
Three towers were damaged and/or lost and this is OK. We always place our equipment between sleeping quarters and the river to ensure water must encounter our sensors before it reaches people.
This strategy was proven sound early this AM. We may have to replace some gear but so be it. It accomplished its purpose." @fox7austin

Around 2,000 abandoned and orphaned wells have been plugged in the last year, but there is still a backlog. I know this makes a good โsound biteโ but what specifically would you do different?
