A National Reckoning Is Coming To America

[SweetSue92]

Well first, those kids are dead. Hopefully they can recover the bodies eventually so the families can have closure. That is just the cold hard truth unfortunately.

I don't support the Trump cuts here as they are illogical. He thinks people can just use private companies when those private companies rely on government data to begin with. Eventually this will be a systemic problem. The Texas thing, however, is disconnected from that. I have seen flash flooding happen in person with my own eyes albeit not nearly on this scale. It is kind of amazing how fast that can occur with a creek going from a babbling brook to being out of its banks with extremely fast moving water in a matter of minutes. I just cannot understand why state and local people in Texas allowed these camps be built in an area notorious for it. From what I have read there are several camps in that area, not just this one that got washed away. They need to start shutting them down before this happens again.

I'm in MI; we have water everywhere. Not only the Great Lakes but smaller lakes and rivers.

Rivers flood faster and more than anything else. I get that Texas does not have much water (aside from the Gulf Coast) but YES, do not build campsites along rivers that flood!

This video is stunning. Trump was supposed to prevent this by keeping redundant jobs at NOAA. Or something.

Yep. It's those nasty Republican cuts to _______ that have made climate change the unstoppable force that it is.

Fake news. Just watch the alerts and times pertaining to this flash flood. They were timely and accurate. The issue was it was the middle of the night, and without an automatic NOAA radio or cellphone with automatic alerts, you're not going to get those alerts.

Plus, flash flooding is the most ignored of alerts.

But, true to form, the ghouls on the left can't wait to find a way to politicize every tragedy.

They lie through their teeth standing on the bodies of victims in an attempt to score political points.

Because they are a failing, rudderless party, lies is all they have left. Appeals to emotion because they are completely illogical.

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. The National Weather Service’s San Angelo office, responsible for some of the areas hardest hit by Friday’s flooding, is missing a senior hydrologist, staff forecaster, and meteorologist.

The office’s warning coordination meteorologist left on April 30, after taking the early retirement package offered by Musk’s DOGE to reduce the number of federal employees. Trump’s newly-enacted Big Ugly Bill will take funds out of Medicaid and food stamps. For what? To finance another giant tax cut for the rich, along with 10,000 more ICE agents and a gulag of detention camps.

Republicans have enabled a lunatic that barely won the election.

It doesn't meet the guidelines of good taste.

"THERE WAS NO WARNING!!"
Three hours prior to the flood....

 

[DigitalDrifter]

It doesn't meet the guidelines of good taste.

The OP copy and pasted everything, except the very last sentence, and that one sentence doesn't meet clean-start rules.

We are in charge of nothing. Mother nature is a force to be reckoned with.

When do the cuts take effect? So I guess we are still working on Biden's budget with that agency. Kinda like the way Biden handled western North Carolina after the hurricane. You cared nothing about them, you're such a a hypocrite.

 

[jknowgood]

I repeat: the warnings were given in a timely manner.

What do you want, more taxpayer funded workers standing around drinking coffee?

After the last four years of the horrible Biden administration and his support of it. This loon has no credibility whatsoever to complain about anything Trump does.
