This month’s deadly floods in Kerr County carry echoes of another Hill Country disaster that took place 38 years ago this week.

Plans to develop a flood monitoring system in the Texas county hit hardest by deadly floods were scheduled to begin only a few weeks later.

Commissioners in Kerr County, Texas, are set to meet Monday in their first official court hearing since more than 100 people, including children and counselors at a summer camp, were killed in catastrophic flooding last week.

An inch to 2 inches of rainfall has already been recorded this morning across the warning area, and an additional inch to 2 inches is possible.

Organizers say a planned candlelight vigil scheduled for this evening in Hunt for victims of the flood has been cancelled due to the threat of more rain in the area. The heaviest rain has now moved southeast along a line from Hondo to San Antonio to Austin.

In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.
