[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure it was Trumps fault when it flooded in 1936, 1952, 1972, 1973, 1978, 1987, 1991, and 1997 right?

The floods became more catastrophic in recent years[/quote]

Recent as in 20 years ago recent? Remind me what office Trump held in 1997[/quote]

No one is saying Trump caused the flood. We are saying his idiotic cuts to National Weather Service staffing and resources and access to satellite data had an obvious negative effect on the timeliness and accuracy of predicting the severity of flooding in the forecast. We also are saying that the Texas state and local officials did not take the flash flood warnings seriously until it was too late and did not have alert systems and evacuation plans in place for a river system that has a history of catastrophic flash floods.

It’s simple: If you know a river is prone to catastrophic flooding, NWS needs the best possible people and systems and resources in place to identify and predict the flooding, and Texas needs to have the best possible systems and plans in place to alert everyone in the path of a catastrophic flood and to help them evacuate immediately.

So Trump and Musk and Doge and all the Republicans in Congress and in Texas who thought it was a great idea to slash NWS and NOAA funding and personnel and access to satellites should be held at least partially responsible for the deaths that could have been prevented if they had not been so stupid and incompetent.
