The adults were warned about flooding
https://www.npr.org/2025/07/05/nx-s1-5457759/texas-floods-timeline
Wednesday, July 2nd:
The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) announced that it was activating state emergency response resources because of the threat of flooding.
At 3:41 p.m. Central Time, early hints of severe weather came in a post on X by the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio that said: "scattered moderate to heavy showers continue to develop and expand to the Hill Country."
Thursday, July 3rd:
At 8:47 a.m. Texas Division of Emergency Management posted on X weather guidance in both English and Spanish, informing followers about what to do in a flood, adding: "As we head into the holiday weekend and the flood threat in West & Central TX continues, stay weather aware!"
At some point in the morning, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick later said at a press conference, the TDEM Region 6 Assistance Chief had "personally contacted the judges and mayors in that area and notified them all of potential flooding." He said it was unclear exactly where in the region the storm would hit.

"The message was sent," Patrick said, "It is up to the local counties and mayors under the law to evacuate, if they feel a need. That information was passed along."
At 1:18 p.m., the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio issued a flood watch, saying "local heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding." At 2:35 p.m. the flood watch was announced on X, saying "pockets of heavy rain are expected and may result in flooding." A flood watch is used when the weather conditions make a flood possible but it does not mean a flood will occur.

At 6:10 p.m., the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center issued an assessment for Texas Hill Country about "heavy rainfall," mentioning "flash flooding likely."
At 11:41 p.m., the National Weather Service office in Austin/San Antonio posted a flash flood warning.
At 11:42 p.m., the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio posted on X upgrading its flood watch to a flood warning for part of the impacted area. In a post from 1:14 a.m. on Friday, that area was expanded. A flood warning occurs when flooding is imminent or already happening.
