Comfort, a town along the Guadalupe in neighboring Kendall County, reportedly had siren warning systems and has not reported a single death from the July 4 flooding, according to NBC news.

At least 120 people have died in Central Texas — and 161 are still missing in Kerr County alone — after flooding inundated the region over the weekend.

As historic flash floods swept through Kerr County over July 4 weekend, killing more than 100 people and leaving families scrambling to escape in the dark, a years-old decision by county officials to block a proposed siren alert system has come under renewed scrutiny.

In the wake of the deadly flash floods in Texas, state leaders are exploring whether to install more flood warning sirens. Such sirens can save lives if they're part of a larger warning system.
