[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was predicted - through 1. long term climate models as an inevitable eventuality, with increasing statistical frequency due to human-caused climate change, as well as 2. immediate storm risk from the weather service, in the days and hours ahead of the actual storm event.

They were given every opportunity to prepare, through FEMA flood maps that told them the area was risky, which they shrugged off and dismissed as dumb liberal red tape, what's the harm, it's just a summer camp for kids - EXACTLY the issue, that it is a summer camp for kids - kids who would have a hard time being able to evacuate themselves from a flood.

They were offered funding to improve notification systems, but declined to spend it, because warning sirens are woke, or pansy nanny state crap for gays, or commie big government meant to control us, or whatever other inane garbage that rattles through the heads of Texas MAGAs.

Stop defending them.  Stop shrugging this off.  This was not "god's will" or "nobody could have forseen this" or "nobody could have prevented it" - it was totally preventable and is entirely the fault of irresponsible people making irresponsible decisions.  And that needs to be made known, and it needs to change.  Not just in Texas Hill Country, but all of America.[/quote]

I may agree with you to some extent but that area of Texas and the folks making those decisions are actually politically balanced and far from what we refer to as MAGA country and that fact makes your entire statement feel icky and gross. [/quote]

YOU ARR 100% WRONG. [/quote]

Except that I have friends and family in Texas who are not what anyone would refer to as MAGA. Is politicizing a tragedy when at the core you really don't know what you're talking about really the hill you want to die on? If so, you may as well join the MAGA cult you fruit loop.[/quote]

Yes yes yes we all have a friend or some family in Austin or one of the other cities that have blue voters.  But those are nothing at all like the red counties of Texas which are very very conservative, lacking much political balance or diversity whatsoever.  You are telling me without telling me that you don't really know Texas despite having friends and family in Texas.[/quote]
