[quote=Anonymous]I still don't understand how this happened with Camp Mystic. They literally built it on a dry river bed that functions as a floodplain during heavy rain. The camp had been flooded numerous times before. Rain isn't this magical mysterious thing. We know hours ahead if it's going to rain heavily. At a vulnerable place like Camp Mystic, there should at minimum have been staff up through the night watching river levels. The camp shouldn't have been there to begin with, but with active observation and reliable weather data those kids should have been moved to higher ground in time.

This is a real Texas failure. Hate the federal government. Hate science and data. Hate common sense. And just pray the problem away. And all those little kids died because of how asinine and negligent Texas conservatives are. And Texas won't do a damn thing about it. Same with Uvalde. All those cowardly cops kept their jobs. For Texas conservatives, local government is a make-work program for good ole boys. And it has nothing to do with providing safety and service to local communities. Just a shameful day for the state of Texas. [/quote]
