Did Trump's cuts to NOAA and the National Weather Service impact predicting the flash floods in central Texas?

So I'll go ahead and say it, it's god's divine punishment for Texas electing Trump and because these Christians are bad people.

Good point.

Np, I hate that innocent children lost their lives, but actions have consequences. Many Texans voted for this fool, and now his foolery is in full effect.

I don’t believe you.

I very much disagree with my fellow democrats/liberals who are using this as political fodder. We certainly should learn from it and will, but it is not Trump's fault.

Because the folks in Texas don't give a damn about their people, they have disinvested, rather than invested in the people and measures needed to mitigate the impact when these things happen.

Yes but in the NE. They’re prob devastated this happened in Texas.

We don’t have extreme weather in the Northeast. Some hurricanes with ocean front houses destroyed sometimes but the buyers knew that. Not much else.

Hurricane Sandy says hello. GTFOH with this crap. NE doesn’t see extreme weather?

Sandy hit NJ and NY much more than NE.

What are you talking about? There was a billion dollars worth of damage from Sandy in Connecticut.

And when Sandy hit, it was the GOP that held funds because they don't care to have the government help.

I know the area well. The camps have been there for many, many decades - I went to one. If you've never been there, you have no idea what you're talking about. Thie speed of the flooding was unpredictable, and no amount of money would have made a difference.

If that’s true, it sounds like that camp can’t safely operate in that location. Will it close?

The previous floods didn't close it. Why would this one?

Going back to previous is not possible.

Trump taking over FEMA is a miracle. So far only 65 deaths far outperforming Biden FEMA and 250 deaths from the Appalachian flood.

Trump just does everything better.

I can’t imagine families still lining up to get their kids a spot. At this point, one would think wealthy Texans who want to see a Christian program continue would offer up some land that isn’t flood-prone.

Trump will never acknowledge the girls who died, because they are Girls.

Will the family of these girls ever acknowledge that the fool they voted for bears responsibility? Noca what is worse is that they will continue to worship him!

45 people died in that flood

Trump’s DOGE gutted the National Weather Service which could have helped predict events like the Mystic Camp floods. FAFO. Turns out the federal govt is useful after all.

NWS predicted flooding. No one cared because no one had died since 1987. They might care now.

100% not true. Sec Noem cut $882M from the NWS budget that resulted in vacancies in this specific county.

Uh, FEMA is not there to prevent deaths. It is there to provide response. And if you are equating a rain squlll with a Cat5 hurricane, well, I don't know what to tell you. What I do know is that Biden provide relief whenever any governor requested it, without fail and Biden didn't fire any NWS or NOAA staff for the heck of it.
