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.

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.

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.
