Yup, Kerrville has been discussing flood warning systems for decades, and never did anything. These floods happen every few years (I can remember ten events, easily). Just not in exactly the same place every time. But the same river. If you look at the arial views of the camp (in the NY Times), you can see the "flats" where there are no trees. Think about why there are no trees.

I'm in Austin, the forecast was for thunderstorms and 2 inches of rain, and we got 8 inches. I felt warned. It was our second flood this year. I would not live in the flood plain of the rivers or creeks here.

According to the NY Times, the same family has run that camp since the 1930s.
