Texas Flood Update: McAllen on Alert & Dan Patrick Speaks Out - July 8 Hr 2

Historic flooding in Central Texas has devastated communities, with over 109 confirmed dead and more than 160 still missing. Kerr, Travis, and Kendall counties remain in crisis as rescue crews, the Texas National Guard, FEMA, and volunteers from across the U.S. and Mexico work around the clock to find survivors. Listeners call in with emotional first-hand accounts from the ground in Kerrville, describing rising waters and desperate rescue efforts. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick joins Pags to share his personal experience—he was acting governor when the storm hit and arrived in Kerr County within hours. Patrick breaks down the state’s rapid coordination with the Trump administration, how FEMA responded immediately, and the critical need for permanent flood warning systems moving forward. It’s a sobering look at leadership, resilience, and what must change before the next disaster strikes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
