Well, what can we blame Trump for?

DOGE cuts to NWS
Reduction in the role of FEMA

It demonstrates a lack of concern for protecting the American people and de emphasized disaster relief

Which agency within NWS? The most or least important ones in wether forecasting? The National Hurricane Center? The Storm PredictionCenter? National Centers for Environmental Prediction? Or Climate Prediction Center?

Liberals have lost their mind. It just keeps getting worse with them. Now Trump is being blamed for a flash flood where people know these things happen consistently and advanced warnings were issued.

The most incredible thing is that liberals are not embarrassed by this level of insanity. They view this as a badge of honor.

Here's a video stepping through all the watches, warnings and forecasts leading up to this tragedy ...

Sorry folks ... looks like the NWS did their job ... 3 hour lead time before disaster ... a watch means flooding could happen, a warning means flooding is happening ... emergency means "run for high ground RIGHT NOW" ...

Examining the statistics for 2023 turns out the most skillful forecasts for each city was from the private sector (see table below), with weatherchannel/weather.com (WC) typically in first place, except for a few cities where Microsoft (MS) was the best. The National Weather Service is not the best anywhere.

This area is called “flash flood alley.” These people expect these foods and they expect them to only be at a certain level. They will take some precautions, but these floods are so routine that the people tend to trivialize the possible impact.

If someone lived 20 feet above the river they reasonably believed they were safe. No one expected a 26 to 30+ foot rise in the river in such a short period of time.


Then there’s this growing mindset in America that the federal government is responsible for everything pertaining to your personal life and well being.

It’s gotten so bad that people will not take action to save themselves unless the federal government steps in to hold their hand and lead them through the process.

There’s an old saying. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. When one lives in these areas consistently hit with extreme weather events it’s not the federal government’s job to force you to be prepared.

The TDS left has no agenda so they use a tragedy to try to score political points and the lying bastards in the media help them. They conveniently forgot about Biden's FEMA refusing to help the North Carolina flood victims if they had a Trump yard sign.

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.

Trump’s DOGE Cuts Are a Texas-Sized Disaster

Reckless agency layoffs and the dismantling of federal relief programs could leave the Lone Star State in peril.

Bull Dung sets a new low in his Trump bashing. The anguish of the parents never even entered your mind. You just saw another chance to bash Trump.

 

[Delldude]

Well Texas……here is what you voted for

Only trouble is He hasn't done it yet.

BTW, you see this quote from an NYT article posted earlier in this thread?

In an interview, Rob Kelly, the Kerr County judge and its most senior elected official, said the county did not have a warning system because such systems are expensive, and local residents are resistant to new spending.

“Taxpayers won’t pay for it,” Mr. Kelly said. Asked if people might reconsider in light of the catastrophe, he said, “I don’t know.”

FEMA fires employee who told workers to avoid homes with Trump signs after hurricane

A Federal Emergency Management Agency worker has been fired after she directed workers helping hurricane survivors not to go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency's leader said in a statement Saturday.

Hey you stupid ******* Dimwinger morons. Explain how cuts that aren’t in effect for months resulted in these deaths.

Does it matter?

Do you think this tragedy in Texas is the end?
We are just entering hurricane season. We see floods, earthquakes, fires, tornadoes every year. Many worse.

Trump wants to terminate FEMA and leave disaster relief to the states

Texas, are you ready?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Cut the shit. Thus not a Trump bad thing. No one expected this. And it happened.
