As questions swirl surrounding the timeline of who was notified about the flooding when, and if more could have been done, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said an alert from the National Weather Service was sent to people in the flood zone -- but she said that doesn’t mean that people heard it.

Almost 120 people are dead across Central Texas after flooding over the July 4th weekend. More than 170 people are considered missing, according to officials.
