  1. I agree entirely. The thing is, I also understand that flash flood warnings are so common that most people ignore them or if the warnings aren't ignored people assume "I'm not going to be on the road so I'll be fine" which is true for most people but that logic falls apart if you're responsible for a cabin full of small children sleeping near a riverbed. No matter how you look at it, there are inexcusable failures to abide the Boy Scouts motto.
  2. If you're lowlying, beware floods. If you're not lowlying, beware mudslides. When it ain't raining, beware wildfires.
  3. In fairness, the specific "flash flood" warning from 1:14AM didn't use the magic words "Guadalupe River" but it did say "creeks and streams" nor did the warning say anything about how much the river could rise or how fast it would do so. It still could have prompted some vigilance from the leadership of the campsite and when they could hear debris getting louder that should have been enough warning to get to higher ground.
  4. Soros is a calamari appetizer compared to the army of Kraken behind Trump but at least it's an intersectional movement that includes gentile and non-gentile billionaires. Progress!
  5. Every preventable tragedy is partly caused by a pervasive culture among political and media figures that, in the past, stigmatized discussing exactly what should be discussed, that stigmatized advocating exactly what should be advocated, and that stigmatized spending political capital exactly when and on exactly what political capital should be spent. Every single person who participates in "This is not the time and place" culture is standing in the way of saving lives in the future. I hope we remember that when (not if) this happens again.
  6. Within 24 hours, you will hear almost verbatim:
  7. Would advance warning have helped in an emergency where seconds can determine whether people live or die? In this case a "life threatening" flash flood warning issued at 1:14AM for Kerr County. If there is no cell service and you know there's no cell service the way to be weather aware is by keeping a NOAA weather radio that will receive those warnings.
  8. I'm sure there are some that could, but the idea is to bug out and get to higher ground before it needs to float
  9. These right here are essential https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Version-RunningSnail-Emergency-Flashlight/dp/B01MFCFKG5/ Malpractice not to have one especially if you're outside cell service range.
  10. This is actually the best time and place to remind people that their decisions have consequences. We are way, way past decorum mattering.
  11. methinks the officials didn't want to scare off the tourists
  12. Kerrville about to find out what rugged individualism means now that FEMA was defunded so we could kidnap drywallers and send them to concentration camps that put $100k/head in some ghoul's pocket. Thank you Chuck Schumer for caving back in March.
  13. For starters, it's too little too late. Also he needs to rally behind the winners (Mamdani, AOC) instead of the losers and liabilities (AIPAC).
  14. You can take Mueller out of the 'hood but you can't take the 'hood out of Mueller
  15. They're gonna love "Abundance" (a word that's three years of reading comprehension too advanced for them)
  16. You can make a lot of money running a losing campaign against a nationally hated politician. When Ocean's Eleven is a smash hit, you get the crew together again for Ocean's Twelve.
  17. Federal dollars would never be spent on "prostitution." It should be spent on hush money, which we call "legal fees" paid to Michael Cohen.
  18. The smart ones have jumped ship, I would think. Only a matter of time before these "line prosecutors" are forced to do the regime's dirty work.
  19. Has anyone who isn't a complete moron weighed in on how likely it is the Dolphins will cut him?
