These children would not be alive if Harris had won, and I say that as a Harris voter. You are a vile and immoral person.

But they’d be alive if they were just kept home.

Sure but the PP is saying that these children would have survived a flash flood if Harris had won. That is delusional at best, and grotesquely manipulative at worst.

It is way too early to know if NWS cuts played a role in this.

It is way too early to be politicizing this for either side.

Of course, but that hasn’t stopped the Democrats in this thread who think it’s appropriate to refer to dead children as “your precious little blond Christian girls” and take the position the kids would be alive if Trump hadn’t won.

You are proving that PP’s point, each time you hysterically reference that comment.

Republicans DGAF when this happens to kids in other countries, but clearly get majorly triggered over “blond, Christian girls”.

I’m one of multiple posters who think you are gross and evil, and I’m a Democrat.

And now *I* am gross and evil? For what?

You are fvked in the head, “Democrat”.

The disgusting posters in this thread are why we have that evil idiot in the White House.

The disgusting voters shouldn’t have voted for him.

My heart hurts for these sweet girls and their families. I pray that the missing are found alive by some miracle. 6 are missing from my friends neighborhood in Dallas.

But I have to wonder if this might not change the hearts and minds of those who blame FEMA and who agree with Trump’s cuts to public services. Also, I hope these folks were not the same who called the Sandy Hook victims “crisis actors.”

If it wasn't for rapid cooling there wouldn't be so much rain. Warming is good cooling is deadly. The government has exacerbated cooling and flooding

Yes condensation is from cooling.

This is actual mocking for people who don’t know what the word means.

Please don't get a job at any summer camp my kid is at.

I can assure you your kids’s summer camp has not been routinely practicing flood drills with campers.

My kid is training to be a counselor and they absolutely do lots of different drills for all different scenarios. And they monitor the weather all day everyday.

But if the weather service and the scientists aren't getting good data to understand the weather and they're not going to be able to give good information to the counselors monitoring the weather.

This is a total tragedy and the sad thing is is that a similar thing happened.not that long ago in 1987 and children were killed in a flood in July in 1987. The area is prone to flash flooding and that was known . Flash flooding is getting worse and worse with climate change and we all need to step up and do something about it.

Sounds like the NWS did send alerts.

Yes, the warning came in the middle of the night and it sounds like there was no way to alert the staff other than cell phones, and everyone was asleep.

Something very similar happened in 2016 in WV in Greenbrier County (similar amounts of rain). I think 20+ people died.

My kid was at camp there when it happened. It happened during daylight vs in the middle of the night in TX. My DD’s camp had some sort of warning and was able to evacuate the campers (was not as big as Mystic) in time. I think those two differences made all the difference in what happened in Texas.

I saw an interview with a mother of 2 campers (age 8 and 12). She said for her 8 yr old, the cabin counselors (2) made the decision themselves to break the back windows of the cabin, to then climb out those windows and as a cabin walk up the hill (barefoot in PJs) once their cabin started taking on water. The counselors are like 18 yr old BTW. All of those girls in that cabin survived. Those counselors did not get a warning.

This is so sad.

The days for camps set up in flood plains are over. Climate change has consequences.

Newsflash, flash flooding came in the middle of the night so that is when the alert went out. NWS was negligent for not scheduling this event during the day I suppose
