[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 county could have installed warning sirens with the money given by the Biden IRA. They didn't.
FEMA/DOGE could have not forced retirement on the person who would have called county officials. They did.
The camp could have built the new cabins outside of the flood plain. They didn't.

There are so many choices made at the county, state and federal level - all made by republicans, and the tragic end is "its gods will" when infact, these deaths were entirely preventable.[/quote]
