Thousands of flash flood warnings have been issued across the country and the number of flash flood emergencies is near-record, too.

A flash flood warning was issued by the NWS Fort Worth TX on Monday at 2:30 a.m. in effect until 5:30 a.m. The warning is for Johnson, Bosque and Hill counties.

New flood warnings have been issued along the Guadalupe River in Texas less than two weeks after flooding killed more than 100 people.

Even when floods can be anticipated, communicating their severity to the public is a tall order. Because flash floods are very localized, even neighborhood-level warnings may seem like false alarms to some residents, leading to what the journalist Zoë Schlanger has dubbed “ alert fatigue .”

Sunday morning recovering efforts were suspended in Kerr County due to heavy rainfall and a new flash flood warning issued for the Hill Country.

"It's not community to community. It's a national system," Sen. Maria Cantwell said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

It was the first time a new round of severe weather has paused the search since the flooding earlier this month. Search efforts are expected to resume Monday.
