I don’t know in which region you reside - let’s split all differences & posit Great Plains: Nebraska, specifically. 6 months ago, yr region had 24/7/365 NWS monitoring & forecasting; experienced pros working for you. Legions of storm chasers… 🛰️ images pulled by a few clicks. What has changed? 🧐

Funny, climate change is just warming up. It's not even fully turned "on" yet. Ignore scientists and experts for liars and con men at your own risk.

Waiting on #gopwingedmonkeys to point fingers at it being a holiday?

And yet the facility coordinator types will come in riding white steed horses to save the day We had the same issue, a Governor named Bill janklow cut funding & equipment for winter time use In 1996-97 our longest & brutalist winter came in & buried state . The state had to call in federal govt

Actions, meet consequences.

> that monitor an emergency alert radio broadcasts like NWR and EWS systems have for tornados. Greg Abbott and Co. has failed that state far too many times to bother keeping him/them employed.

Unfortunately, this will be just the first of many.

And wheelchair dude was nowhere to be found. #AbbottSucks

The only reason the GOP in Texas would even care about having people in those public service positions is because they need someone to throw under the bus. Now, after a disaster, there is no one to fingerpoint at but each other. Just watch... in the next few days, they'll find someone to blame.... 🙄

When will people wake up?

It sounds like a congressional hearing is in order.

This observation ( astute) of the Texas tragedy is fair warning to all.Consider how many weather bureaus were gutted.

A Society can be pro-active or reactive. Pro-active requires planning, preparation and thought before hand. This requires more money up front though when an "event" occurs the consequences are less severe. Reactive costs less up front but when an "event" occurs it is multiple levels of disaster.

Well you would have thought Shady Hook would have been the catalyst after those kids died, but no gun control, so I don't see any level of kids dying changing anything.

This is a result of trashing the national weather service and NOA we can thank our president for this. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone. He just doesn’t want anyone to know that we have global warming, which is why he got rid of the weather services cause he doesn’t want to confront reality.

The "leadership" PR personnel who was a judge wouldn't take responsibility. FAFO. They also blame the service officials because that's what they like to do. Play the blame game. And its all their fault for cutting the national weather systems.

I keep coming back to is the fact that the crucial services that stand between average US citizens and death, illness, and extreme need were just stripped from us/ those that need it most. Wouldn’t the ultimate boycott be to withhold those tax dollars that are no longer being used to serve us?

What’s wrong with your Governor, Texas? If he can’t manage the State effectively- get rid of him! Like. Right. Now.

you’re correct, warnings were & would have been ignored, it’s beyond common, constant turn around don’t drown, banks of this river are nothing but private owners collecting $50 in cash to set up a tent or RV on the property, even looking at that kids camp built on the banks in a known flood plain

www.nytimes why do think this is?

Yes, so DOGE achieved all mission objectives.

It’s not just Texas. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Why are children’s camps in a high flood zone?

Thanks to Trump, Elon and the MAGAGOP.

That’s because to the dumpf administration you’re waste, fraud and abuse.
