Yes, Right-Wingers Are Pushing Conspiracies About the Texas Flood

[cnm]

Other things you told us were "baseless conspiracy theories":

• Vaccinated people can still get covid
• Hunter's laptop from hell is real
• Joe Biden has cognitive decline
• The covid vaccine causes heart problems
• There was election fraud in 2020
• Russia never helped Trump win anything
• Covid came from a lab leak in China
• Men wearing dresses aren't women

Your track record sucks.

You'll be able to post evidence of that poster doing that, then, won't you?

Seriously? Its you leftys who have been pushing that cuts is what caused this, despite numerous claims of the opposite.

The left just can't let go of a narrative, kind of like the pee tape story.

As the Texas Floodwaters Rose, One Indispensable Voice Was Silent​

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/opinion/texas-floods-nws.html ​

When a reporter demanded to know why the summer camps along the Guadalupe River weren’t evacuated before its waters reached their deadly peak on July 4, Rob Kelly, the highest-ranking local official, had a simple answer: “No one knew this kind of flood was coming.”​

​

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?​

There were five people on duty. Two shifts and the supervisor at NWS. The shift supervisor was well versed in this region and its flood potentials.

Talk about bull shit talking... NOAA/NWS did their jobs well. The warnings were sent out in a timely fashion. NOAA/NWS warned the state almost two days in advance of the flood potential. even thought they didn't know the severity of rain fall, which no one can predict more than a few hours in advance.

The problem here was advanced warning systems and alert systems which were denied back in 2017 by the county commission as being to pricey. We just found out how costly that decision was.

The bull shit is really deep on this issue coming from the left.

Your having a real hard time with statistical averages. Our records are just 130-180 years long. This means any statistical average is a hope and poke.

MTG is entitled to her opinion on cloud seeding which is my opinion is not based on the facts. The cloud seeding operation she refers to TERMINATED on July 2nd in the area of the strongest rainfall.

There were warnings up to 12 hours in advance.....

They just found two more victims. They found Kellyanne Lytal yesterday. She lived in Twins 1 cabin on the river. This morning they found Abby Pohl, she was one of the victims of Bubble inn, the cabin where all the girls and counselors were swept away in the floodwaters. Both of these baby girls were only 8 years old. Please pray that God can bring these people peace and closure in this unbelievable time of hardship.

Cute precious little Abby is on the bottom row towards the right side of the photo in this camp cabin photo taken just days before all the children and adults in this photo were taken from us way too soon.
