This graph shows how fast the river rose in Hunt, which is where Mystic and other camps are located. It could have possibly risen higher but it looks like the gauge went out.

| Residents have no one to blame except themselves. They, as taxpayers don’t want to use their tax dollars to pay for a warning system. They want less government. They are RED. Basically, MAGA Trumpers. Reap what you sow. Listen to the warnings. Those poor little girls, drowning, suffering. |

Don’t fool with Mother Nature. Ever!
She is unpredictable. You can warn, but people need to heed the warnings and not blow them off. It’s not a conspiracy people. Warnings are there for a reason. Use your listening skills. Think for yourself. Government is not always bad. Stop drinking the kool-aid. |

You don’t understand the definition of schadenfreude. |

They have DJT to thank. Hurricane season will probably be more of the same. |

Staff half the size it was before Trump. It’s like when anyone tries to say something about gun control after a mass shooting. Immediately get dumped on for being “insensitive”. We tried to warn you. |

As of now, the warning system appears to have been working per Tom Fahy, legislative director for the National Weather Service Employees Organization: "The WFOs [weather forecasting offices] had adequate staffing and resources as they issued timely forecasts and warnings leading up to the storm.” https://www.newsweek.com/weather-service-staffing-clearly-concern-deadly-texas-floods-2095053 The charts seem to show the flash flood occurred at the worst possible time, with waters spiking after 12am, but especially from 3am to 5am, with likely near-zero visibility. Flash flooding is difficult to predict and avoid: Flash floods form rapidly According to the National Weather Service, a flash flood is flooding that begins within six hours, and often in as little as three hours, of heavy rainfall. Waters rise so quickly that people are caught off guard, according to the weather service. Many people run into trouble while traveling. If at home or work, the water can rise so quickly that people are trapped before they have time to think about escape. That is just what happened to residents along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County and the surrounding area after at least 10 inches (25 centimeters) poured from the sky early Friday morning. Fast-moving waters along the river rose 26 feet (8 meters) in just 45 minutes before dawn Friday, washing away homes and vehicles. The danger was not over as more heavy rains were expected Saturday, and flash flood warnings and flood watches remained in effect for parts of central Texas. https://apnews.com/article/flash-flood-warning-watch-texas-986af31b0402a7a721fd9cc275622457 Families are still waiting to find their children. Take it down several notches or get off the internet today. You’ve lost track of your humanity. |

It’s not the truth and you’re not educating, persuading, or helping. You’re just being an idiot. You can dislike the president and deplore his budget cuts without being a psychopath or parroting gibberish. Cause and effect matter. Read the articles at the above links—or do you prefer to just hang out at the level of other nematodes? |
