MAGA response to floods in Texas

[Frankeneinstein]

Really, what kind of sociopathic world view would lead one to label this tragedy as fake?

OK, O.R. Because you asked and only because you asked

Noah? What are you, a child? You're citing fairy tales as if they were real events?

O.R., Donny H went so batspit crazy he even posted his responses in the wrong thread.

Janitors don't count. They were understaffed fir the real jobs.

Not according to those who were actually there numbnuts

Janitors don't count. They were understaffed fir the real jobs.

I keep asking this question and none of you reply. What happened with NWS during the flooding in TN in 2021 that killed 20+? They under-forecasted the rain and their notification was too late for many to get out of harms way. This was under Biden's watch and no cuts had been made? The point is, the NWS has done this in the past when they were fully staffed. This has nothing to do with Trump or any cuts and everything to do with weather forecasting which is far from an exact science.

In a blue state in the South. Most, if not all, are well under $3/gallon.

Michigan voted for Trump and I live in Oakland county. Very red part of Michigan. Yesterday I thought about you fools when I saw $3.39.90 a gallon. I was going to take a picture but the light turned green before I could pull up my camera.

You guys are suckers.

Not true. There are people awaiting the prices to drop. What sucks is you guys will not do that.

We won't await for the prices to drop? What choice do we have?

It was in all the papers, even appeared prominently in one of history's greatest selling books [perhaps even the greatest selling] and had several movies made about it...surely the media wouldn't lie about something so egregious eh bro?

Trump's fault. He appointed a brainless dolt who he knew wasn't qualified.

Doofus, if the position's been cut there ain't no position there to be vacant from. Duh.

The people were cut or not replaced. Paul's position is still vacant as far as I know. Or has it been eliminated?

​

Why not? Kerr County, Texas, had lots of history to go on — as Kelly went on to explain: “We have floods all the time. This is the most dangerous river valley in the United States.” The National Weather Service had even brought in extra staff that night. Most important, the service had issued three increasingly dire warnings early that morning — at 1:14 a.m., 4:03 a.m. and 6:06 a.m.​

​

What Kelly didn’t mention, but which has since become well known, is that the Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction — Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination” — had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. He was not replaced.​

​

To a Washington bean counter, his loss might have looked like one tiny but welcome subtraction in a giant spreadsheet, but not in a region so prone to these perilous events that it’s known as Flash Flood Alley. Hundreds of kids at summer camps slept in cabins along the river. The plan was for folks at the upstream camps to send word to the downstream camps if floodwaters got scary. But if even the highest official in the county wasn’t on high alert, how were the camp counselors supposed to understand the danger — or, in an area without reliable cellphone coverage, to act on it?​

Oh so this Paul Kelly being butt hurt by common sense cuts to the bureaucracy is to blame

 

[ColonelAngus]

Crazy video!

That shit happened FAST.

 

[odanny]

This photo gives us an idea of the monumental task of searching for all those still missing. That is a full-size pickup truck buried under tons of debris.

The recovery process in central Texas will take time, and a lot of hard work. The accumulation of fast flowing debris, and mud has made this particularly difficult.

Holy shit.

MAGA has already put these floods and Trumpslaughter in their rear view mirror. They never cared.

But the Mexicans did.
