NWS cuts challenged due to flooding preparation in Texas

[pknopp]

You're obviously not smart enough to understand his point.

If the NWS firings didn't cause additional deaths in this case, eventually it will.

You MAGA Nazis hate government....and so you create a government that can't function. It's a self-fulfilling prophesy.

After what happened at the very least one should take a step back and actually consider whether or not further cuts are wise.

 

[Nostra]

The flood warning was issued THREE ******* HOURS before the flood, asshole.....No amount of staffing could have done any better.

No go take your meds and fortified wine.

Warnings actually began 12 hours out.

 

[pknopp]

No. Dims lied.

Pathetic spin.

You lied so you really have no soap box to stand on.

It will take time to sort it all out.

So you are calling all these Dimwingers liars too.

Have you ever worked for or with government agencies??
Ever?
If you have, you know to the extent they are overstaffed and wasteful at the state and federal levels. Unbelievably overstaffed. The only entity on the planet that is so wasteful than the government is large universities where most people who work there - barely work at all.
They have so many minions and underlings it is incredible.
And I know this, I have seen it in my career for decades.

My dad worked for the federal gov't for 42 years. He said he'd never seen so much waste in his entire life.

His job was to fly offshore and inspect oil and gas platforms for safety compliance. Well, many mornings the weather was too bad to get offshore. However, the contract with the heli company stated that they MUST at least attempt to fly off shore every single day, 5 days a week. So they all loaded up their gear into the helicopter, that was contracted out to taxpayers at thousands of dollars an hour, flew to the coast, saw they were fogged in, flew back, unloaded, and then the heli flew back to its home base about 15 miles away. Wasting thousands of taxpayer dollars every time this happened.

They did this for his entire forty two years of working for the gov't.

And to top it off, for their "budget" at the end of the year, they would go around the office asking people what they wanted, spend up the money before the end of the year, because if you didn't spend it, you'd get less next year. So they HAD to buy all kinds of crap they didn't need. My dad would come home with piles of stuff. All free. I remember as a kid I never had to buy a notebook for school, pens, anything like that. All the other kids had notebooks of different colors, mine were gov't brown. Others ink pens were Bik and the like, mine were the gov't prison brand "Skilcraft." He also got me free hats, protective suits, ear and eye protection (PPE) all kinds of stuff. It was like Christmas in September (end of fiscal year was October 1.) He didn't need any of the shit, but if the office didn't spend all the allotted money, they'd get less next year when they might really need it.

And for the record my entire family are staunch anti-gov't conservatives. They've seen the waste, fraud and abuse first hand.

There was a 12-hour early flood watch in effect, and a 3-hour early flash flood warning was issued.

Show us where retirements and early buyouts came into the equation.

Your TDS has you celebrating kids dying.

And cuts had already happened unlike how you tried to portray.

More strawman MAGA bullshit.

You're so ******* stupid that you think government cuts never has negative consequences.

There was a 12-hour early flood watch in effect, and a 3-hour early flash flood warning was issued.

What else do you want?

Provide the timelines for NWS flash flood warnings in the past. How many hours out do they normally start issuing warnings?

Bring your data proving your lies.

Betcha won’t.

You're talking about one incident....and lying incessantly about it, like a child.

For you to believe that the NWS cuts will not result in American deaths in the future is you being a deranged MAGA creating your own reality.

Yes, we are talking about this one incident because your Cult is lying about it. Celebrating dead children because you think you can score political points against Trump is beyond pathetic.

Nobody cares about your pissy pants hypotheticals, Simp.

That staffing cuts at the NWS "caused" these deaths. When asked to prove it, you shitfucks just do "laugh" emojis because you have nothing else.

It's been proven ad nauseum that warnings went out HOURS ahead of the flood and were ignored. That is established FACT.

Trump cut NOAA research observation and early warning systems. People warned this would happen.

Thread 'Doge reduced warning and response time for the Texas flood.'

Jul 5, 2025

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...

That's all you ghoulish assholes are playing right now, claiming that these NOAA/NWS bureaucrats would have made any difference.

if we find out that NOA/NWS shortages made a difference would you admit it
I do not believe you would. You would blame it on a boogey man.
Truth be told you do not give two shits about the dead people.
