[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect they were thinking that it doesn't matter if a camp cabin gets flooded -- they could just dry it out or build a new one.

They did not imagine the river level rising [b]26 feet in 45 minutes[/b], what was a more of a tsunami than the typical flash flood.

That's not an excuse.  We all need to adjust our expectations dramatically for the world under climate change.

But they could have responded to a 'normal' hundred year flood.  This new mega-flash version gave them no chance to respond.[/quote]

The DID have time this respond. They had three hours. Don’t make excuses for them. Kerr county failed their residents and those campers.  Because they’re too stubborn and ignorant to believe the government could actually be helpful.  They could have sent every cell phone an Amber Alert type alarm two hours earlier, they could have installed flood alarms, they could have denied Mystic’s building permits when they renovated.

MAGA are just perpetually adolescent and can’t stand being told what to do. And rather than accept that they made mistakes and  were wrong, they’re pretending like nothing could have been done. No. [/quote]
