    So did the lack of timely flood warnings kill those kids in TX? Or is that Joe Biden's fault still?

    If the system worked then fine. Just a tragic weather event. But with all the DOGE douchery people are now suspicious that the govt is going to leave people hanging when they should be doing traditional govt-type duties.

    Only Joe Biden could be senile enough to not know which way is up AND be cunningly smart enough to ruin the entire country.

    To Chuck Norr...I mean Brad Frie...I mean Joe Biden!

    Republicans did start blaming the Dems & the Liberal Media today for not informing Texans of the upcoming storm. They also said Dems withheld viable information from the NWS.

    @raza_rebel my wife is saying that the NWS did its job but some of the guys who were supposed to be there to relay the information weren't there because they took the DOGE buyout package.

    Billionaires being in it for their own good?

    Who knew.

    Meanwhile, MAGA Daddy says it's "ridiculous Elon is in for his own good".

    Ya know what's good about this country? If you don't like something, you're free to start your own.

    Then again, King Donald I doesn't like people going against Him or His Will.

    He's quite good at saying the quiet part out loud. Then again, when the mouth looks like the sphincter and the diet is nothing but fast food...

    So the people that somehow are willing to shoot up a pizza parlor because they believe there was a child sex trafficking going on, are willing to just believe the Trump DOJ and FBI that Epstein had no Client List and his murder, excuse me, suicide was legit.

    The local National Weather Service office issued a flash flood watch more than 12 hours in advance of the flood. The first flash flood warning for Kerr county was issued approximately 2-3 hours before the river started to rise. As soon as flood gauges on the Guadalupe started showing a rapid climb, that was upgraded to a flash flood emergency. The meteorologists did their job by the book.

    In fact, people who are experts in this field called out "degraded forecasts" in May 2025 An open letter to the American people from all former National Weather Service directors | The Invading Sea. Another example, this time the former NOAA Administrator https://www.reuters.com/video/watch/idRW771206072025RP1/

    If you do a bigsoccer search, I have mentioned this several times before in the past 7-8 months. Most recently, after the May tornadoes in Kentucky.

    Having said that, SOMETHING did not go right. In the multiple stories that I read, buried in the middle of an article was 2 sentences mentioning meteorologists whose job is to disseminate that information took the DOGE buyout, instead of being forced out. This was at 2 Texas NWS stations.

    It's a complicated problem to solve between public perception of a forecast, warning dissemination, warning systems on phones/weather radios/sirens/alarms... Were the warnings received? What got in the way of their delivery? Were they widely seen but brushed off? So many questions that will hopefully get answered in the days/weeks/months ahead once things settle.

    tl;dr - your wife is probably right. We probably read the same article. As someone who works at NOAA, we have unfilled positions at every level all over NOAA.

    1. It wasn't the pedophilia they were reacting to-- that's normal. It was the infantophagia.
    2. Half of them don't believe there ever was an Epstein-- that's a fake news hoax and you are a patsy for believing it.
