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

[JimH52]

California is literally know as 'we love taxes' country.

Was their states response to the LA fires what they paid for?

Global Climate Change is going to make mega fires, droughts, massive floods, and weather extremes more prevalent.

trump and repubs think.they are smarter than scientist. Our children and grandchildren will pay for their stupidity.

Science is about learning. It is ongoing. If you disagree with science, you are not in a contest.

You are wrong.

Says the person who bows to the Felon in Chief.

No, I use common sense. You guys hang on the words of hyper-partisan "experts" who trick you with smoke and mirrors.

When will you guys admit that you and your "experts" were wrong yet again about tariff related inflation? My guess is you won't and will just move on to whatever the next crisis the "experts" cook up for you guys to spew.

 

[Dekster]

Well why spend millions on a flood warning system that would just be washed away anyway when there are taxes to cut.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

No, I use common sense. You guys hang on the words of hyper-partisan "experts" who trick you with smoke and mirrors.

Yes, you bow to the felon in chief.

Children died. Stop trying to make it political

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

Twice, the Texas Division of Emergency Management turned down Kerr County's requests for money to improve flood warnings.

www.usatoday.com

Nearly a decade before catastrophic flooding in south Texas killed at least 95 people, including 27 girls and counselors from a beloved summer camp, the state’s Division of Emergency Management denied requests from the county where the camp is held for a $1 million grant to improve its flood warning system.

Summer camps were top of mind during county leaders’ discussions of the project, meeting minutes show. Then-County Commissioner Tom Moser envisioned designating point people at each camp who would monitor a website and alert camp counselors and attendees if evacuation was needed.

The Division of Emergency Management did not answer USA TODAY's specific questions about why the county's applications were rejected.

Is that MAGA I smell in the air? Now, Texas is talking about duplicating DOGE at the state level. That may have to wait until most of the law suits that will be filed against the great MAGA state of Texas. Parents are morning the loss of their children. This is beyond sad.

How much money was denied?

Local budgets contain enough bloat to pay for a warning system if they trim spending somewhere else

You have no idea if that is so in Kerr County and Kerrville.

You know nothing, Mac-7 Snow.

Its true in every county everywhere

Kerr County choose to spend its own money somewhere else

You know nothing at all.

 

[Mac-7]

You know nothing at all.

I gotcha where it really shows

 

[Dirk the Daring]

Yeah, probably. Their response seemed to be quite good. Lots of people were evacuated, people were ready to deal with it before hand, people got out. Some people refused to leave their homes and got killed

You really link people who lost everything were happy with the empty reservoirs? With fire hydrants that didn't work? With the lack of fire control mitigation efforts? You are delusional.

 

[Dirk the Daring]

Science is about learning. It is ongoing. If you disagree with science, you are not in a contest.

You are wrong.

I actually have it on good authority that the 'science' around climate change is already settled. There is nothing more to learn. We already know everything, specifically, how to profit from it. 97% of ALL scientists everywhere already agree.

 

[Mac-7]

And fire trucks that did not run when high ranking government employees are making half a million a year?

We spent a lot of resources on social media, internet, communications TV advances, etc., in all ways. Still do. Otherwise, technology may be much more advanced in the ways to save the planet as you promote. And for some reason the United States alone would be the difference. This while upright citizens like you live off the products of the planet made in factories and countries causing the changes.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

I gotcha where it really shows

Your ass is hanging out again.

 

[Mac-7]

Your ass is hanging out again.

I have to hand it to you

Its impossible to defeat a lib who refuses to admit when he’s beaten

I just wish your side would put that determination to more productive uses

Now you are gaslighting.

 

[dblack]

I can't really get behind the ghoulish attempt to turn this political. It sounds like the people running the camp knew it was dangerously located in a flood plain. If there's any blame, it's on them.

 

[Mac-7]

Now you are gaslighting.

Hardly

I’m winning and so is my president

Which explains your surly disposition
