A cell phone warning did go out, but only ~1/3 of phones in the flash flood area were warned. It seems really haphazard. Friends who had no warning had other friends call them in the middle of the night to ask about borrowing trucks/trailers. They were lucky!
The alert system in Texas is optimized for "Blue Alerts", to warn people that a cop 250 miles away stubbed their toe.
