OMG..! That means it was O’Bidens fault..!
A report suggesting flash flooding in the Southwest? That doesn’t sound like a stretch worthy of emergency action. That stuff happens often in that part of the country.
That’s akin to suggesting there will be a bad hurricane hitting the southeast sometime in the next 18 months. Most Floridians would look at you and shake their heads.
Anything predicted 9 months in advance, in particular something weather related, is absolute pure unadulterated bull shit.
They may think of it as probable, but not a for certainty foreseeable happening. The story is blame-game click bait.
Blah blah….it’s not delivering the information that is the problem - it’s having someone one the other end to receive it and ACT.
Show me who at the camp was monitoring NOAA Weather Service radio in the middle of the night and an emergency plan for evacuation of at least the most at-risk kids when flooding is predicted and I’ll revise my opinion.
"County devastated by Texas flood predicted nine months ago that dangerous flooding would hit THIS YEAR but failed to act [??? emphasis added]"
Noting that I am an unrelated observer, “failed to act” accusation seems to ignore that Kerr County was possibly denied funding for warning system.
"But the new warning system never became reality. Though local officials agreed to spend $50,000 on an engineering study, which made specific recommendations for such a project in 2016, they never secured the $1 million they estimated would be needed to implement it – despite asking for help from state officials at least three separate times." —Kerr County asked Texas to help pay for a flood warning system for 8 years. Can it happen now? (7.7.25)
Insights welcome.
Reminiscent of Katrina 2005. Pre warning levees could fail
What is wrong with the river/county authorities?
The Brazos River has old-fashioned alarms at every dam and can be heard for miles.
The climate change idiots say we are close to the end. Who to believe. Didn’t happen, this report would have never been published.
“It goes on to note that past floods had maxed out at 10 inches – a stark contrast to last Friday when the Guadalupe River swelled into a monstrous 23ft wall of water in a matter of minutes.”
The report mentions possibility of a a 10” flood. They received a 23’ wall of water. Failed to act to do ... what exactly?
I’m tired of hindsight
And probably made the same warning last year and the year before that as well.
Random notes. Not saying they’re true, but just how I understood some news reports:
Someone reported today that Kerr County or Kerrville voted DOWN installing an emergency siren warning system because of the cost. I think it was last year or early this year.
Also heard that where the Mystic Camp was, and areas around there, never have cell service. If there are no warning sirens, cell notifications are helpful/critical.
The DEI top government official in the Austin area nixed some emergency action because he’s so retarded he didn’t grasp the concept of reimbursement. (This per firemen under him.)
It’s a flood plain.
Total BS. If we acted on everyone’s predictions were be a basket case nation.
