Extreme weather events like this have been happening for at least a century.

Take it up with the scientists, and the United States military, and the insurance companies, and convince them it doesn't exist. See how far your anonymous posting nonsense gets with them.

Yes, we know. Our technological capabilities are more advanced and adept at forecasting, warnings, and mitigating loss of life. But we can’t fix stupid.

Abbott is a curse on Texas. He needs lots and lots of guns to feel less emasculated. Get rid of him. Cruz is just a basic moron. Texans elected them along with Trump.

You know what remains? Democrats who still have empathy for Texans. Who are outraged that two young sisters were found dead in treacherous waters, still holding hands. Hundreds of deaths and counting.

Abbott does not care. Uvalde made this very clear. He is a broken man, figuratively and literally. Good men don’t wallow in their hardships.

“ Extreme weather events like this have been happening for at least a century” Yes, and now they’re happening more and more often, to the point where the old extreme is becoming the new normal. That’s what climate change means. Weather patterns are shifting. What used to be a hundred year storm is now a ten year storm, or even a five year storm.

Insurance companies understand this. Their livelihood depends on understanding it.

There was tremendous flooding,
Involving a lot of extra water.
They call it flood-like conditions,
When there’s too much water.

And these egghead scientists,
These so-called “weather experts,”
Are saying we fired them,
So they weren’t on the job.

It’s a disgrace,
A complete and total disgrace.

Extreme weather events like this have been happening for at least a century.

Take it up with the scientists, and the United States military, and the insurance companies, and convince them it doesn't exist. See how far your anonymous posting nonsense gets with them.

“ Extreme weather events like this have been happening for at least a century” Yes, and now they’re happening more and more often, to the point where the old extreme is becoming the new normal. That’s what climate change means. Weather patterns are shifting. What used to be a hundred year storm is now a ten year storm, or even a five year storm.

Insurance companies understand this. Their livelihood depends on understanding it.

A kid’s camp near Mystic was evacuated just 8 years ago. Flash floods helicopters and everything.these were not unprecedented weather conditions. These were people who knew the risks and didn’t heed them

Because they think they’re blessed and that only happens to brown people on the other side of the world and heathens who don’t go to the right church.

PP, you're an idiot: a petty, ill-informed, simplistic idiot - just like the MAGA types that you (and I) look down on.

In July 2025, torrential rain fell in a three hour period on 4 July from the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry, resulting in over 100 deaths, many of them children from the summer camps along the Guadalupe River.[20][10] Flood related deaths were reported in other nearby counties.[5]
At 4:00 a.m. the National Weather Service issued a particularly dangerous situation warning for communities along the Guadalupe.[9] In Hunt, Texas, where the two branches of the Guadalupe River meet, the river gauge recorded a 22 feet (6.7 m) rise in 2 hours before failing when it reached 29 feet (8.8 m).[21] Downstream in Kerrville, the river surged to 21 feet (6.4 m).[22] Further downstream, in Comfort, it surged to 29.86 feet (9.10 m).[22] The city of Kerrville issued a disaster declaration on 4 July following the floods.[23] In total, 5–11 inches (130–280 mm) of rain fell on some areas that experienced significant flood effects.[24]
Flooding continued into Saturday, 5 July[25] with two more flash flood emergencies being issued for areas around Lake Travis north of Austin.[26][27][28] Later, a third flash flood emergency was issued for central Comal County, noting that "local law enforcement reported flooding of the Guadalupe River".[29] 20.33 inches (516 mm) of rain fell northwest of Streeter.[30]



Extreme weather events like this have been happening for at least a century.

Take it up with the scientists, and the United States military, and the insurance companies, and convince them it doesn't exist. See how far your anonymous posting nonsense gets with them.

“ Extreme weather events like this have been happening for at least a century” Yes, and now they’re happening more and more often, to the point where the old extreme is becoming the new normal. That’s what climate change means. Weather patterns are shifting. What used to be a hundred year storm is now a ten year storm, or even a five year storm.

Insurance companies understand this. Their livelihood depends on understanding it.

A kid’s camp near Mystic was evacuated just 8 years ago. Flash floods helicopters and everything.these were not unprecedented weather conditions. These were people who knew the risks and didn’t heed them

Because they think they’re blessed and that only happens to brown people on the other side of the world and heathens who don’t go to the right church.

PP, you're an idiot: a petty, ill-informed, simplistic idiot - just like the MAGA types that you (and I) look down on.

Are you Saved?

No. Not Saved (is that a proper noun?) or even saved. Zero interest in/involvement with religion of any kind.
That said, I do have faith in this: you're an idiot, a petty, ill-informed, simplistic idiot - just like the MAGA types that you (and I) look down on.

Or, putting it another way, the people who got swept away by raging flood waters in the pitch-black middle of the night didn't do anything wrong. Trump gutted the National Weather Service and NOAA because... Science is Bad & Facts are Dumb. But the people swept away (lots of them little girls in the second and third grade) didn't do anything wrong, nor did their parents but having them at camp. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Although having an anti-science, anti-facts Presidential Administration in place upped the ante. There will be lots more of this kind of stuff, as the climate becomes more intense... but remember: Science is Bad; Facts are Dumb. MAGA!

Putting your young children next to a river known to flood, understanding the above, that the river has flooded before and there isn’t a warning system in place… an act or faith, an act of arrogance, or an act of stupidity?
