Describe policies that gut agencies of competent staff that may negatively impact the ability to deliver timely NWS warnings. Also describe the traits that mark most of the policy actions of Trump, the members of his administration and its supporters; traits which will likely negatively impact recovery efforts from the usually responsive FEMA.

Yeah..it's pretty appauling to do such given how and when such happened. There were flood warnings out all day and the nasty hit around 1:00 am.

"We have floods all the time. This is the most dangerous river valley in the United States, and we deal with floods on a regular basis. When it rains, we get water. We had no reason to believe that this was going to be anything like what's happened here, none whatsoever," he said.

There is a reason it is called “flash flood alley" .....

Camp Mystic sits on a strip known to locals as “flash flood alley.”

“When it rains, water doesn’t soak into the soil,” said Austin Dickson, CEO of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, which was collecting donations. “It rushes down the hill.”

State officials began warning of potential deadly weather a day earlier. The National Weather Service had predicted 3 to 6 inches of rain in the hilly region northwest of San Antonio, but 10 inches fell. The Guadalupe River rose to 26 feet within about 45 minutes in the early morning hours, submerging its flood gauge, Patrick said.
