No. Moving on.
Though I see the NPCs got their new talking points.
You knew this was coming...
No. The weather service issued a warning. Texas refuses to put any monitoring on the state of the river upstream, and whatever warnings they do send out is with a trendy new text message on the cell phone. They have moved away from the old familiar siren warning.
So if you’re in one of the countless cell phone dead areas in the hill country, or a little kid asleep at summer camp, or someone who has the temerity not to sleep with their cell phone, you’re kind of out of luck.
This is piss poor planning from the emergency people in the state of Texas regarding a river well known for flash floods.
A simple seltzer located at a couple of points up the river and reporting flash flood in real time, combined with an audible warning could’ve saved countless lives. This isn’t on the weather service.
A flash flood cannot be predicted. Even they knew it was coming, the camps had only minutes to act.
What could be updated is weather warnings. My province has a provincial wide alert system that goes off whenever something happens in the province.
It is a legitimate question and deserves to be answered. Not unlike questions about DEI programs in the military under the last administration hurting recruiting and readiness.
When government makes significant staffing changes affecting service provided to the citizens of the nation, the citizens have the right to understand the impact and to question the decision.
In the corporate world I’ve seen headcount cuts negatively impact sales, production and other key functions. Decision often result in unintended consequences. Successful organizations recognize their mistakes and make adjustments.
They need to blame someone or some organization instead of the weather. I feel sorrow for those kids.
Trump's fault. /s
Well, 10 years ago and before DOGE, a storm occurred in that same area, more or less, that killed more than 13 people and destroyed 300 plus homes.
Next, the MSM will be blaming it on BBB that just passed. People need to realize the rugged terrain of that area of Texas.
<> you’d think more locals were watching or listening to tv & radio stations out of San Antonio or Austin. How many people in your neighborhood used national weather service as their “go to” source of news?
<> btw, when the great renaldo fired all the Air Traffic Controllers when they went out on strike, where did reagan go to fill those slots on such a short notice?
do not pitch a tent on a flood plain....
Did the overstaffed NWS save lives in the North Carolina floods?
Thank You for your attention to this matter,
Uh, no.
“Did the DOGE layoffs at the National Weather Service just kill a bunch of people?”
How many National Weather Service computers did DOGE layoff?
A bear was seen taking a dump in the woods did doge do that? Inquiring minds want to know.
Wasn’t it like 10 years or so ago that the Guadalupe River flood was even higher than this time???
If so, was this Camp Mystic flooded in this bigger flood?
If Camp Mystic was flooded in the last big flood, then why were they still allowed to be a summer campsite?
Em. They’re still in recovery efforts. There are still helicopters swirling overhead
Mr Trump, stop firing the psychic weather people who are capable of predicting otherwise unpredictable events.
NO
