NWS cuts challenged due to flooding preparation in Texas

[Nostra]

You proved nothing, you lil ****.
Your deflection is noted.

"No, I don't take any responsibility at ALL." djt..... and the Right Wing Motto.

You posted the guidelines, stupid.

Not my problem they prove I am right and you are a liar.

Deal with it.

That’s right, libs are blaming Trump for cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in the NWS for the deaths in the Texas floods.

The problem is these cuts don’t even happen for months.

Liberals are 100% evil.



To be clear, the "cuts" being cited are not only minimal and target bloat, not effective services, but they do not go into effect until October. As for any prior staff cuts (NOAA was in the process of cutting 10 percent of its staff), there is likewise no evidence that those hampered the forecasting of this event. Yet, even a California state senator is repeating the lie because he believes it helps him politically. The NWS could have a trillion-dollar budget, and it would have put out the same forecast.

Heartbreaking updates on the Texas flood tragedy and political responses. Empathy is needed.

Make no mistake, now or ever......

• Flash Flood Watch (not a warning) can be issued up to 12–36 hours ahead when conditions are favorable for flash flooding.
• A warning means flooding is happening or will happen soon in the warned area.

Summary​

• Flash Flood Warning: Issued 0–6 hours before impact, often with very little notice.
• Flash Flood Watch: Issued up to a day or more in advance, as a heads-up.

If you're in a flood-prone area, it’s best to stay alert to weather conditions and have emergency alerts enabled on your phone.

Looks like the NWS nailed it.

So warning there will be floods 12 hours out isn’t good enough unless the get they predict the exact amount of rainfall?

And your Cult tells us these same guys can tell us we will all die cuz the Earth will be 1/2 of 1 degree warmer 100 years from now.

Weird.

The first public notice of a Flash Flood Watch for the July 4th Texas Hill Country flood was issued on Thursday, July 3, at 1:18 p.m. CDT. This alert covered parts of South-Central Texas, including Kerr County, and warned of the potential for 5–7 inches of isolated rainfall overnight into Friday morning apnews.com+8texastribune.org+8firerescue1.com+8.

Timeline Summary​

• July 3, 1:18 p.m. CDT – Flash Flood Watch issued by the NWS (National Weather Service) covering Kerr County and surrounding areas .
• July 4, ~12:00 a.m. CDT – Heavy rain began falling.
• July 4, 1:14 a.m. CDT – First Flash Flood Warnings issued by NWS for Kerr County .
• July 4, 4:00 a.m. CDT – A “particularly dangerous situation” Flash Flood Emergency was issued, indicating catastrophic flooding was already underway en.wikipedia.org+4click2houston.com+4en.wikipedia.org+4.

That's not the claim. The claim is (true or not, I don't know) that the warnings didnt include the area hit the hardest

And your Cult tells us these same guys can tell us we will all die cuz the Earth will be 1/2 of 1 degree warmer 100 years from now.

Weird.

Its your cult. You're the Democrat (obvious by your inability to be truthful).

Thanks for once again confirming the NWS met their guidelines, and your Cult is full of lying fucksticks, Simp.

Its your cult. You're the Democrat (obvious by your inability to be truthful).

It happened in Central Texas, idiot.

Exactly where the warning are for.

 

[Winco]

Deal with it.

You said they issued a flood warning 12 hours earlier.
It was 3 hours.......why are you lying?

Here's your quote.

So warning there will be floods 12 hours out isn’t good enough

That didn't happen....it was 3 hours.
Why no Flood Watch?

Take it up with Texas officials.

Watch - Conditions are right for an event.
Warning - Shit’s happening

 

[iamwhatiseem]

You have no clue what they covered (remember the chainsaw)? And its relevant because that iswhattheop is based upon.

The OP is bullshit, and doesn't have a clue. And your post supports it, not saying you wholeheartedly agree - but doesn't stray from the theme.

The truth is this is being called a "1000 year event" - no recorded flooding that has ever happened to this extent. Ever. So there is no basis to draw from that it was going to happen like this. And warnings were given.

Try reading a link and get educated in a topic for once in your loser life, Simp.

From my link:


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


Still waiting for you Cult morons to provide any data showing this deviated from the norm. Your links prove they followed their guidelines, and your Cult is full of liars like you.

Says 600 were cut. I have to assume those cuts were already in affect.


E&E News: NWS hires won’t make up for Trump cuts, meteorologists say

They seem to forget the deadline DOGE put on employees to take the buyout. Anything that is inconvenient they ignore.

They don’t care about your lies, idiot.

The only liar is you, MAGA simp.

I'm still waiting for the specific quote from a Democratic official...

You know...something really stupid, like this. --

Trump rails against DEI after DC plane crash, but it doesn't apply to air traffic controllers

Donald Trump claimed, without citing evidence, that DEI initiatives at the FAA were partly to blame for the tragic plane and helicopter collision in D.C.

[candycorn]

It's their job to make a difference, shit-for-brains.

That's why those scientists should not have been fired.

You're just a stupid bitter racist old man.

Yep...they fired the forecasters months before a storm caused deaths and are now saying they didn’t do it...or it doesn’t matter...or _____________ when they have to abandon those positions.

The point is this -- dimocrap FILTH standing on the Still Warm Bodies of DEAD CHILDREN to try and make some political.

dimocraps are scum. ALL of them. Every single one of them is a scumbag.

And it's not like this the first time dimocrap scum have done this. Many times. In fact, every time there is a tragedy, here or eslewhere, if dimocrap scum think they can get some political points, they'll stand squarely on top of corpses to do so.

dimocraps are the scum of the Earth. Every One Of Them. Every last one.
