Good post, agreed 110%, People need to get it........No ones child is a political football.....Much rather in the face of something like this...

I truly can't image water rising that fast, one report had the rising water hit between 4 and 6 am.......

Places like San Marcos and here on the Greenbrier get flood and flash flood warnings all too often as they always hedge to the side of safety......This was just so far beyond what can be imagined and on a holiday weekend full of weekenders and of course the young girls at their summer camp.....

Show a little humanity out there folks, play your politics later,,,those kids know nothing of dem or repub...for gods sake, try and put yourself in some parents position....

F the partisan BS ;)

Thanks, good to know there are still humans out there :)

Texas Officials Blame Agency Gutted by Trump for Results of Deadly Storm

Experts warned for months about cuts to NWS and NOAA

As the best and the brightest were being fired at the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration by senseless and draconian ‘DOGE’ cuts earlier this year under Trump, with no reason given except for the need to cut a paltry amount of the government’s budget, experts warned repeatedly that the cuts would have deadly consequences during the storm season. And they have.

And the chickens have come home to roost. Hundreds of people have already been killed across the US in a variety of storms including deadly tornadoes - many of which were inaccurately forecasted. And we are just entering peak hurricane season. Meteorologist Chris Vagasky posted earlier this spring on social media: “The world’s example for weather services is being destroyed.”

Now, after severe flooding in non-evacuated areas in Texas has left at least 24 dead with dozens more missing, including several young girls at a summer camp, Texas officials are blaming their failure to act on a faulty forecast by Donald Trump’s new National Weather Service gutted by cuts to their operating budget and most experienced personnel.

At a press conference last night, one official said: “The original forecast we received on Wednesday from the National Weather Service predicted 3-6” of rain in the Concho Valley and 4-8” of rain in the hill country. The amount of rain that fell in these locations was never in any of their forecasts. Everybody got the forecast from the National Weather Service. They did not predict the amount of rain that we saw.” .................................................
