They should. That might cause a meltdown of epic proportions that would maybe cause a massive stroke. -
The stupid in this thread is astounding. New York City is the most expensive city in the United States by a long shot and one of the most expensive in the world. Affordability is an issue for everyone except perhaps the top 1% (you now have to make a million or more a year to be in the top 1%). And the NYT is very much in the fuxking wrong on this. They are running hit pieces to help Cuomo, a guy who fucking hates NYC.

Agree with ole Troy. But I also layer in the state as well. The state licenses these camps. It is pretty obvious there were failures at Mystic, like lack of disaster preparedness, lack of communication, or just plain incompetence. A competent state government would revisit licensing rules and regulations specifically as it comes to disaster preparedness for sleepaway camps near bodies of water. But we all know the state is a bunch of fucking idiots, so nothing will change.

So, instead of using the emergency management system, they are using X. That seems like a problem.

Former director of TDOT. Explains the incompetence.

This. I went through multiple events in Houston. I had weather radar on constantly and was physically checking things around the house every hour. I was lucky and had no flooding during the worst, but I was hyper vigilant.

All sleepaway camps in Texas have to be licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services. Seems like a pretty common sense regulation to require camps with or near a body of water to submit safety and evacuation plans every year as part of maintaining their license. And it seems like everyone that works at the camp should be drilled on those scenarios.

The reality is NOTHING is going to move the needle. It doesn't matter how many children are lost. That is not CR, that is reality. Period.

Seems like Texas officials have been failing for the last 25 years or so. It's expected at this point.

So, people ignored it. We saw this happen during Harvey.
