9:47Now PlayingFour days after flash floods in central Texas killed more than 100 people, Kerr County officials repeatedly seemed to dodge and deflect questions from reporters Tuesday about when they knew the floods would pose a deadly threat, and refused to commit to a timeline of their official response. Despite the National Weather Service’s first public warning alert at 1:14 a.m. on July 4, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha told reporters he was not made aware of the flash floods until “between 4 and 5” that morning. “We understand you have many questions. We understand that. But right now, this team up here is focused on bringing people home,” Lt. Colonel Ben Baker of the Texas Game Wardens said. “That’s our focus.” #CNN #News
