Mastodon bots which mirror the NWS warnings back them up
What failed was local officials not succeeding in alerting people — in large part because they had plan or mechanism available to do so with the roughly one-hour warning that current meteorology can provide for specific flash floods like this.

I sleep in a hammock, but I’ll keep a pool noodle nearby. If my second floor bedroom on a hill floods then I might actually be able to get out of my not-to-modern-code high bedroom windows without using my step stool.
Arrr! Just say a prayer to the bitch queen of the sea every day and you’ll be safe in your hammock, pirate.
