Things are about to get much worse for extreme weather forecasting in the US. Adding to the cuts in NWS staff is the DoD ending its data sharing with NOAA from three DMSP satellites. These satellites provide microwave satellite data, which is crucial for accurate weather forecasting such as floods.
I'm waiting for Trump to find a way to blame the floods on Biden.
One of his MAGA influencers suggested a pro-Biden holdover in NOAA conspired and sabotage efforts to get the word out. Let the games begin!
* Jesus will provide. No need for science, no need for costly national weather service. Dead-Letter-literal-interpretation of the Bible, Christian evangelical fundamentalist know best. Put your faith in Jesus, “everyone will die”. Lord and savior Trump knows best. Texas is God’s country.
Trump helping Texas?
Too bad Trump cut the weather service funding...
So sad . May they rest in peace 💔
It's Climate Change and Global Warming! Increasing the SLAUGHTERED FORESTS AMOUNT 120 ACRES MORE LIKE A NATURE KILLER, FOSSIL OIL USAGE, COAL BURNING AND NUCLEAR PLANTS MAKE IT WORSE! INVEST IN AND CHOOSE NATURE FRIENDLY SOLAR PANELS AND WIND ENERGY TO PREVENT IT!
Need to keep focus on trumps cuts that added to the DEATHS!!!
Nothing like defunding the national weather service. And then blaming the national weather service for not accurately predicting the flashflood.
My God.💔
The flooding devastation in Texas is a preview for every American of life without Federal help. We have no safeguards any longer. They were gutted by Trump. Don't blame the messenger who didn't have the resources to give you the message.
TRUMP CALLED OUT OVER TEXAS DISASTER!!! youtu.be/Yj3AhzGhHuo?...
Every dead baby was once attached to the uterus of a maga voter. Groomed to be the next gen of people keen to fuck the american public. Think of that before you start with the tears.
Votes have real world consequences. The people of Kerr County got what they asked for.
Children can't vote fuckwad
Whilst I agree that votes have consequences etc, these are dead children we’re talking about here. Stop being such a sanctimonious ghoul.
So who did the dead children vote for?
Knowing that the majority of voters in Texas voted for the felon in the White House, the maggots in Congress, and their corrupt state government, I find it hard to care. People in Texas would celebrate if a flood killed people in New York or an earthquake caused deaths in California.
Sad for the girls. I don’t feel bad for anyone else involved. Don’t vote for the dude who wants your lives worse. Abbott and Trump both need to go. Thoughts and prayers…
What happened to the weather warning system? Oh yeah somebody is destroying it
Warnings were issued. Everybody was asleep and state officials largely ignored the warnings.
They predicted no where near the amount of rain they received. I don't know where you're at but we have hunting property here and it doesn't take minutes to become a raging torrent.
I’m in East Texas. Creeks and rivers here absolutely can flood that fast and storm intensity/rainfall amounts are notoriously difficult to predict. I’m going with what the actual meteorologists are saying, that NWS functioned appropriately. Sometimes bad shit just happens.
Defunding meteorology science is retarded but you know so is Trump and all of his dumbass supporters.
Agree, it’s a huge mistake, but it didn’t have any bearing on this tragedy.
I kind of disagree. 🤷
Well, all the meteorologists I follow disagree with you, so I’m gonna go with what they say 🤷♂️
Well the first responders that did the press conference said the meteorologists were wrong. I'm sure they are covering up for that fact.
You seriously think that Texas state officials are more trustworthy than meteorologists?
Yeah well they predicted two to five inches of rain not a hundred year River flood. I'm also in East Texas but we have hunting property in the Hill country can't even get there right now.
How many times in your life has there been weather events that surprised the experts? There have been a lot in my lifetime. Weather predictions are estimates and sometimes the weather will do what it wants without much warning. People should stop campaigning on the backs of dead children
It’s the first time in my life a game show host gutted the national weather service.
Gosh, if maga wanted the deaths of children not to be politicized, they could stop electing seditionists who legislate to starve children, so their child rapist king can build a sculpture park that will eventually need to be torn down.
Did you run that by anyone before you typed that out?
No.
Meanwhile Trump plays golf.
Ya know, I think that's for the better. He'd only fuck everything up anyway.
I think Taco🌮 should blame Abbott for not being prepared.
They won’t answer if any warning were sent. That means no. Trump you and your moron cabinet are responsible for this and all that will soon follow with hurricanes
Killed people with his Covid Policy Killing people with his RFK appointment Killing people with Medicaid cuts (that will close hospitals) Killing people for not helping Ukraine defend against Putin And Trump thinks he deserves a Nobel Prize?
These events can be predicted. But there is no money for this. Only for billionaires. #Trump #Texas #Floods
Those who took a hatchet to the National Weather Service warning system should be the ones looking for the dead bodies in the flood.
TX GOP lawmakers are right when they say this catastrophe was “unprecedented”. These GOP lawmakers are totally wrong however since they’ve been climate-change deniers! Tragically disasters will continue & will get worse due to the weather “extremes” caused by climate-change.
My empathy was grabbed off the street and put in a holding camp... So yeah...
Thoughts and prayers . Global warming doesn’t exist . Thanks TRUMP www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
All those cuts to fema and the warning systems are on Trump and musk But hey the rich got a tax break so alls well
It sure didn’t help that Trump, Musk and DOGE have made made huge cuts to NOAA. abcnews.go.com/US/job-cuts-...
is trump off flaping its gums or out floging its white balls
THANKS OBAMA wait, what year is it?
#ThoughtsAndPrayers Donald Trump: "Defund The Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA and The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA"
Yeah, but what we’ve learned here is that they defund and then close things and then a few years later they invest money in stuff and pretend they are creating these departments to save everyone from problems created by previous governments…
