Texas county where campers died was denied money to boost warning systems TWICE

[ReinyDays]

I agree with Foxfyre.

IMO, this is an act of God and cannot be blamed on human or institutional error.

All we can do is accept it and make changes.

We blame the rain ...

Do you have a citation for that claim ... media is reporting otherwise ...

"1987 Flood Survivors refect on Nearly 40 Years of Loss" --- CBS News --- July 7th, 2025 ...

July 17th, 1987 ... look up your own sources ...

As best I can tell, the 1987 Guadalupe flood killed 10 people (children) when their bus hit water while trying to escape the camp they were in. Not sure how the various other metrics compared, ie time of day, warnings, experience, etc, but there was significantly less loss of life in '87 obviously compared to last week's flooding.

A deadly 1987 flood scarred the same Texas county that is reeling through another disaster

The flash floods that killed at least 100 people in central Texas last week is only the latest Guadalupe River disaster to claim lives.

Frantic evacuations in 1987
This mid-July flood killed 10 teenagers and injured 33 others. Water overwhelmed the river and its tributaries, forcing hundreds to flee. At a Christian academy, buses evacuating children initially encountered modest flooding. While some vehicles turned around in time, a bus and van were stranded when the river rose rapidly.

As the children were trying to leave the stranded buses to safety, a “wall of water, estimated to be as much as half a mile wide, rushed upon the campers,” according to a government report. It scattered the kids. A bus with Seagoville Road Baptist Church on the side was pictured slammed against tangled trees, at an angle and partly under water.

You just did what you accused me of doing, Foxfyre.

Yes, she is right. She has posted it before above. She need not to it again. And she needs

I've posted plenty of credible sources on these threads. You ignored those. You would ignore anything I posted here. Have a lovely afternoon.

* Direct Tax On Property Is Brutal *

WRONG.
This could have been avoided. Everyone knows that Texas is a state you go to in order to not pay much in taxes.
They didn't want to spend money on a warning system. This isn't the first time, and it won't be the last, not on this river, no in Texas.

There is no income tax in texas and businesses do not pay state taxes on earnings less than $2 million dollars , but you are mistaken to believe a wanton clever reverse of a and e in taxes as texas from appraisal districts when it comes to bleeding out the nose on property taxes .

There isn’t always someone to blame
Sometimes bad things happen

Wondering whether going full on westboro baptist church for this issue might clear things up about perceptions expected by religious zealots , by reiterating an emphasis of claims from doctrines , that some underlying sin , or sinner , caused goad to cast judgement on those communities , on the state of texas and on america which was deserved through guilt by association .
