Doge reduced warning and response time for the Texas flood.

MWS had extra staff on hand there for this incident, Dipsqueeze. Warning went out per NWS guidelines.

You lose again.
At 1am while everyone was sleeping they said, "look out" on the internet.. at 4 am they posted a note on their website saying "youre fucked"... at 7am it finally dawned on them when the regular shift showed up for work to send out a phone warning to people in the area who might not be checking the website while asleep.
 
The Faux Propaganda machine is a fully functioning arm of the right wing state. Any level of objectivity should never be expected. MSM continues to be your best source of information unless you want religious worship of Trump and his magats.
What did they get wrong? Be specific, and bring links backing up your bullshit.

Unlike you on the left, Gator...we don't need propaganda. You've been lapping up the lies that CNN and MSNBC have been feeding you for most of the last decade and no matter how many times those lies have been exposed...you keep coming back for more. Thankfully the numbers of people who still watch CNN and MSNBC are so small at this point they've become almost meaningless!

Lies.

Feel free to try to document your bullshit.

I predict you can't, liar.

GO!

Interesting comparison, Nuthin! Unfortunately for you the liberal politicians in charge of water policy in California were totally incompetent...turning something that happens on a regular basis in California (wild fires) into a catastrophe! That didn't happen in Texas. It's not happening now!
You're FOS.
California's water policy was fine.

You're dumber than your dear leader.

Jan 24, 2025 — President Donald Trump on Friday met with local officials in western North Carolina towns still recovering from Hurricane Helene, accusing the Biden administration of not doing enough to get aid where it’s needed, vowing to speed up recovery efforts and threatening to shut down the Federal Emergency Management Agency altogether.

“It doesn’t matter at this point. [former President Joe] Biden did a bad job,” Trump said during a roundtable with local officials in Fletcher, where he said some residents still don’t have drinking water and didn’t get sufficient financial compensation following the storm. “This is totally unacceptable, and I’ll be taking strong action.”

May 28, 2025 — FEMA denied North Carolina's request for the agency to match 100% of the state funds for Hurricane Helene cleanup, according to a letter sent from the acting FEMA administrator to the governor of North Carolina.

"After a careful and thorough review of all the information available, including that contained in your initial request for a cost share adjustment and appeal, we have concluded that an extension of the 100 percent federal cost share for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance for an additional 180 days under major disaster declaration FEMA-4827-DR is not warranted," acting Administrator David Richardson wrote in the letter.

The cost-sharing request comes from a Biden administration directive to match 100% of the funds that the state puts in to share costs of the disaster cleanup after Hurricane Helene devastated the state as a Category 4 storm in September 2024.
 
How was the trump admin suppose to stop the weather?

Tom Fahy, legislative director for the National Weather Service Employees Organization, told NBC News that weather forecasting offices were adequately staffed, and "they issued timely forecasts and warnings leading up to the storm,"



"It’s shameful and disgusting that in the wake of tragedy, the left’s first instinct is to lie and politicize a disaster to target their political opponents. False claims about the NWS have been repeatedly debunked by meteorologists, experts, and other public reporting," Jackson said. "The NWS did their job, even issuing a flood watch more than 12 hours in advance. The Trump Administration is grateful to the first responders who sprung into action to save hundreds lives during this catastrophe, and will continue to help the great state of Texas in their recovery efforts."
In Afghanistan a terrorist blows himself up in a crowd at a gate and kills 13 and you guys freak the **** out about every little detail of preparation. In Texas, 50 people die and you dont give a shit about preparation and are immediately on the defensive about how great everything worked in killing all these people and little girls only because you dont want your Orange God to look bad. **** you ass worshiping *****. I really really dont get you people.

You get dumber by the post, Gator! Those 13 American service members were killed because of awful Biden policy decisions. They didn't need to die. What just happened in Texas was a natural disaster!

California's water policy was "fine"? Really? Since when is a policy that has fire hydrants without water..."fine"?

You moron. They paid nearly $1B in damages because they are lying *****. There is your specifics. What is your specific response Nostradumbass?

 

Right wing media's (aka Fox "News") response to the Texas floods​

Hate to tell ya but......

FOX is not "Right-Wing" media.
See what happens when you keep your head buried in the sand permanently?
 
The county in question isn’t even on your list, dumbass. :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg:

FAIL!
It isn't on the list dumbass because it is a list of Texas' most liberal counties.
Kerr County is solidly Republican. So is Gillespie county and pretty much all the rest of the Texas hill country with the exception of Travis County.
So, now that I've thoroughly ***** slapped you for just making shit up let's return to the topic you deflected from to make your ridiculous claim in the first place, should Republicans in red states and counties be able to get any of that "socialistic" disaster relief funding?
 
Dire warnings ahead of the disaster on the impact of the cuts.

 
California's water policy was "fine"? Really? Since when is a policy that has fire hydrants without water..."fine"?
That's what you get for listening to FAUX news.

It takes pumps that run on electricity to move water.


Pacific Gas & Electric cut power to the region to prevent more fires, which included the pumps.
It was NEVER about a lack of water.
 
:p

20% approval. Says it all.

:p

Democrats are hypocrites. For all their violent protesting they can't even oust their own corrupt leadership.

20% approval means 60% of the Democrats disapprove of their own party. And yet they can't make the needed changes. The leadership installs candidates without a vote and no one complains, but meanwhile they're sniveling about Trump destroying democracy.

Democrats should do the honorable thing and fall on their swords.
MAYBE Calling out your own party when its not working in the best interest of ALL of America is a good thing.
And yes we have extremes, both party's.
 
15th post
I don't usually read Fox News, what's the point? But I thought, what's their response to the floods in Texas?

Would they be doing everything the could to control the narrative in favor of Trump and Abbott or would it be trying to be objective?

Well, sees like it's the former. Let's look


"DHS says mainstream media is 'deliberately lying' about events leading up to Texas flooding"

Ah, so the "mainstream media" (clearly doesn't include Fox "News" in this) is "lying" because.... they're not following the official narrative.

There's a tweet, or whatever they're called these days, from Homeland Security.

"The mainstream media is deliberately lying about the events leading up to the catastrophic flooding in Texas. The National Weather Service executed timely, precise forecasting and warnings, despite unprecedented rainfall overwhelming the region. Here is the timeline of NWS’s proactive response:"

In the text below this on Fox "News" it says:

""The National Weather Service executed timely, precise forecasting and warnings, despite unprecedented rainfall overwhelming the region," it continued."

Now, the issue here isn't whether the NWS issued timely, precise forecasting and warnings, it's whether ANYTHING WAS DONE WITH THESE WARNINGS. Obviously Fox "News" doesn't mention this.

Then they have "Mississippi governor prays ", yeah, that'll solve the problem.

Then a thing about Tim Walz saying he'll offer assistance.

Then you have "Alabama governor prays ", which I assume won't help either.

You also have "White House Faith Office prays"

They have a quote from Trump: "“And it's a horrible thing that took place. Absolutely horrible. So we say, God bless all of the people that have gone through so much, and God bless the state of Texas. This incredible place,” he continued."

Basically saying that Mr "I do the best floods in history" God should bless all the people.... I'm sure that'll help too.

Then you have "Former presidents share prayers"

I can basically find NOTHING that talks about what went wrong in the first place. It's just talking about God and prayer and criticizing the left wing for talking about what went wrong in the first place.

I wonder why Fox "News" doesn't want to report about what went wrong in the first place.
In September 2024, Hurricane Helene caused massive flooding in North Carolina with an even higher death toll than this storm (107 deaths versus 81 in Texas). Where was the outrage then?

I'm seeing much speculation that these cuts resulted in the large death toll in Texas but I'm not seeing any solid links or evidence that this was the case. And even before any NOAA or NWS staff cuts, the death toll was higher in North Carolina anyway.

I also see a lot of doubt and criticism over the timing of issued warnings in this case but warnings were issued. Were they timely enough? Maybe, maybe not. But in North Carolina a tropical storm warning was issued and the governor declared a state of emergency two days before the storm hit. Yet they had a higher death toll.

Given the relatively similar results of these two tragedies in spite of the fact that North Carolina had earlier warnings, can we honestly and objectively claim that staff cuts and lack of an early warning system contributed to the death toll in this case?
 
Who us? We didnt do anything wrong.

As I posted from a meteorologist right there, you're LYING once again never allowing a tragedy go to waste

There is NO CELL SERVICE in that region

She gives solutions.
Weather radio
Sensors along the river triggering warnings

This happened IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

A review of the warnings and watches provided, as well as other information.

What They Needed Was Sirens in Texas
