Doge reduced warning and response time for the Texas flood.

They do all the 'predictions' based on computer modeling out of the Storm Prediction Center out of Oklahoma.

How many computers were layed off?

What a stupid question.

Nobody ever died before Trump because staffing was cut. Less than 30 days ago the NWS started scrambling to hire people realizing it made a huge mistake in staffing. Now people are dead. I linked the NWS statement above from June.

Those 528 people cut would have made a difference staffing a holiday weekend which the NWS said they were having trouble doing round the clock.

Feelings. You’ve been told to have them and you complied.

No Truth shuts down your premise

Sure, kid.

Let me know when you've got one.

I'm sure those Texans don't mind, since they know that at least Elon didn't have his taxes jacked up.

So stuff like this, and whatever happens in the future, is a "nothing burger", I'm sure.

"Were all going to die, eventually."

May have…….could have……..THIS IS SPECULATION……



What a ******* joke you are.

Likely to have is not a joke.

 

[BULLDOG]

Show specifics. Your link full of moronic bed wetting contains ZERO facts. Just speculation from left wing hacks.

I didn't know AI was considered to be a left wing hack.

Camp owners banned cell phones from camp sites at camp Mystic. So how many more NWS employees would it have taken to relay the message to two dozen preteen girls living in tents in the woods with no cell coverage?

since there as no evacuation order until way too late, it doesn't matter.

People are gonna die, we said, and not quietly either.

Once again fatalities from extreme weather events can be directly traced back to lack of adequate warning.

Which is, of course, a direct result of the staffing cuts at NOAA and NWS.

Now, after severe flooding in non-evacuated areas in Texas has left at least 24 dead with dozens more missing, including several young girls at a summer camp, Texas officials are blaming their failure to act on a faulty forecast by Donald Trump’s new National Weather Service gutted by cuts to their operating budget and most experienced personnel...

Now lets see if the severely slashed and much maligned FEMA is up to the task of recovery.

Personally I doubt it.

Texas Officials Blame Agency Gutted by Trump for Results of Deadly Storm

Experts warned for months about cuts to NWS and NOAA

your warning is fully of hypocrisy. WE all watched how the biden admin handled Palestine OH, the hurricanes and flooding in NC and surrounding states...and now you warn us that people are going to die?? Well. I PRAY you are joking. You have been wrong on EVERY THING. Why should anyone believe a word out of the left's lying mouthes at this point.

People die all the time, as a result of democrat incompetence and actions but the left doesn't care until they can falsely lay it at the feet of their opposition.

No it isn't. That's your hate filled soul speaking.

Doge taking a chain saw to our weather monitoring and warning systems and to FEMA has made the tragedy of the Texas flood even worse than it had to be. Those agencies were in place for a reason, and should have never been degraded by someone who didn't even understand why we need those agencies.


Yes, it's quite possible that victims of the recent Texas flood could have received earlier or more effective warnings if not for cuts and policy shifts tied to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and former President Donald Trump's administration.


What Happened in Texas?


On July 4, 2025, catastrophic flash flooding struck areas along the Guadalupe River, leading to fatalities and widespread emergency rescues. Local authorities issued urgent warnings, but the scale and speed of the flooding overwhelmed many systems.


How DOGE and Trump’s Policies May Have Affected This


According to investigative reporting from the Texas Observer and San Antonio Current, the Trump administration’s DOGE initiative significantly impacted federal disaster preparedness and response:

• FEMA Cuts: DOGE slashed FEMA’s workforce by about 20% and froze parts of its funding.
• Disaster Aid Shift: Trump announced plans to phase out FEMA and shift disaster response responsibilities to individual states, arguing governors should handle emergencies independently.
• Climate Risk Data Degradation: DOGE reportedly dismantled or degraded federal resources that track and model climate-augmented weather risks, such as flood forecasting and early warning systems.
• Infrastructure Investment Delays: Federal support for flood prevention projects—like levees and drainage upgrades—was reduced or delayed, leaving vulnerable areas more exposed.

Could Earlier Warnings Have Been Possible?


While local agencies like the Harris County Flood Control District did issue warnings, the broader federal infrastructure that supports early detection, modeling, and communication of extreme weather risks may have been weakened. This could have:

• Reduced the lead time for warnings
• Limited the accuracy of flood forecasts
• Slowed coordination between federal and local responders

So while it's speculative to say definitively that lives would have been saved, the evidence strongly suggests that federal cuts and policy shifts under DOGE and Trump made Texas—and its residents—more vulnerable to disasters like this one.

Wow, the tRumplings really jumped on this with both feet.

That's a sure sign they know how bad it looks for them.
