[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Natural disasters unfortunately happen.  But, if we do everything we can and have the right people, process in place, we can say we did all we could.

But, if you gut the staff that deals with natural disaster warning systems, and then bad sh*% happens, people will question whether the cuts impacted the ability to plan and respond.

And what exactly did the cuts achieve overall?  It really didn't make a dent in the debt, which the Rs just raised by a sh*% ton.   All for the sake of cutting taxes mostly for the rich.

Meanwhile, almost 100 lives lost, and now people questioning whether these cuts made things worse.

Or was this just all God's will?  I can't keep up with MAGA excuses.[/quote]

You realize cuts had nothing to do with this disaster - right?  NWS did its job and sent out flood warnings and evacuation notices all through the night.  There was no cell service in this area.

Why can’t you people be honest, even just once?  This had nothing to do with Trump or cuts at all.  The NWS was fully staffed and operational.  [/quote]

There was evidence that climate change is absolutely contributing to these types of extreme precipitation events.  The Trump administration and the Trump voters are doing everything they can to prevent anyone from understanding this, predicting it , reacting to it, and investing in protecting ourselves from events like this.

We should all be looking at this horrifying disaster and others like it for the lessons to be learned for protecting human life.  And if the Trump administration refuses to do that, then shame on them.[/quote]

The news of this flood is devastating. [/quote]
