hard to imagine the enormity of how tragic this texas summer camp story is. 25 girls missing, and at least nine children among the dead. my god.

Guess they're going to have to start blaming the adults in the room soon.

And all Texas can do is blame the weather service for not providing what they used too due to orange felon cuts to their services, instead of we Texans will not stop until every girl is found & rescued.

Devastating seems too mild a word. Just gutting and terrifying.

There are these two things, the DOD canceled important weather forecasting data, in addition to cut the NOAA. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Noem is sitting there criticizing the NWS. She says DRUMF is making it wonderful and spending a lot of money on it.

is it true that the campground was set in an area with regular catastrophic flooding? i know that an entire residential section of houston was built on a documented floodplain & houses are uninsurable. 2 examples of the texas way of life. yee fucking ha.

Flooding this time of year in Central Texas is unusual. Floods happen, but spring or fall is more typical. In 6 decades here, I can't recall such intense rain in July.

the camp had been operating for almost 100y so I assume this had not previously been an issue

Honestly this is anywhere on the Texas Coastal plain, which is about a third of the state.

Hard to imagine the enormity that most impacted families allowed to vote by TX' Confederate voting laws voted to accelerate global warming and slash NWS funding. On MLK weekend, TX celebrated Confederate Heroes Day, once again glorifying traitors who killed more Americans than Hitler did.

These are the sorts of tragedies that occur when you severely cut back on the US Weather Service. The Republican Party, that festering sore on democracy, needs a comeuppance!

The NWS in Austin staffed up for the event. They normally have one person overnight and added four more. I'm no Trumper, but this isn't on the NWS. Kerr County had no warning system in place and at 4 AM, no one at the camp was watching the news or paying attention to cell phone alerts.
