There was a recent #flashflood #flood in #Texas which killed a lot of people. Most tragically a girl's summer camp is still missing many girls

Here law enforcement in Texas blames the #NationalWeatherService. The same #NWS #Trump has cut funding for

If you think #MAGA will learn, no they won't

They blame "libruls" "Demoncrats" and the media. This is a reflexive, almost religious conviction, even when it's obviously their own damn fault

We'll see this again with a disease outbreak

#Texas Officials Slam Trump’s #NationalWeatherService for Botched Forecast

Officials in Texas are casting blame on the #NWS for failing to forecast catastrophic #flooding that has killed at least 51 people.

NWS was among the government agencies targeted by the #DOGE in its effort to gut the federal bureaucracy, losing approximately 600 staffers.

#DOGE #elonmusk #teslatakedown #noaa #weather #texas #flood #flooding #floods #txpol #uspol #uspolitics #nationalweatherservice I thought so, but it looks like the national weather service gave first a watch 12h ahead, and then a flood alert for the county 3h before the start of water rising.

But there's no warning system. In a place named flash flood corridor.
