  1. How is NWS at fault? They issued a warning 2-3 hours in advance? Weather models as early as Wednesday showed 15 inches or more in the San Antonio / Austin / Hill Country corridor? Everyone had been tracking a tropical storm remnant through Mexico into south Texas and the hill country?
  2. Ugh. The only time I had a positive feeling in all of this was when I read that first report.
  3. Everybody need to be woke at 1am when a flood is coming.
  4. Lost track but someone ask how much time… I cross checked … 1:14am NWS flash flood warning, a dad went to the camp to search for his daughter - there’s a fb post on DT - he shares he was talking with his daughter approx 4am when the phone went dead and the assumption is that’s when they were swept away. As many have suggested there were several hours between the NWS flash flood warning and the time the camp was hit.
  5. Raining in 37700…
  6. For all I know the camp has liberal owners I don’t care. Accountability should know no party affiliation.
  7. I’m going to abide by the request because ranting about failed leadership is both news and reaction to it so if real time updates are wanted fine that’s a fair ask for right now, but when the news comes out later about the complete failure - after search and rescue is over -and legit journalists report these failures I may go down swinging that it’s pure news not politics. People need to be forced to see this.
  8. BL just made it clear the news of failed leadership belongs in CR only. Fuck me I’m so fucking sick and tired of this. NOTHING WILL CHANGE. too soon. this shouldn’t be political. lets focus on the rescue. thoughts and prayers. This couldn’t be anticipated. We get to hear this nonsense and when we call out the lies, the failures, it’s not news. Fuck all of this. EVERYONE should be forced to see the facts. I can’t even.
  9. Little girls screamed to their death because adults failed them at every level. Outrage is warranted.
  10. 100% and I wouldn’t blame the state until they started with that bullshit the other day. If I’m in charge of that camp I worry about heat injury, pedos, and floods. Local leadership, Jesus no one was aware? At all? Unreal.
  11. This thread is still filled with non weather posts so idgaf. As for the other bullshit, 80 dead and failed leadership up and down the line isn’t bullshit. Don’t give a fuck about parties I’m tired of people dying when it’s avoidable with responsible leadership.
  12. I wanted weather only and news separate. News is recovery and failed leadership imo. But the split didn’t happen so idgaf. But if you think our failure to care for these kids isn’t news well I don’t know what else to say. Now 80+ dead when the NWS gave the warning with enough time to act.
  13. Local fucking weather had 15–17 inches predicted on Wednesday within 70 miles as the crow flies (and rain covering the region). The NWS gave a warning at 1am, no one did a god damned thing. There’s no rocket science here. It’s plain as fucking day. Abject failure up and down the line. It’s not even debatable.
  14. Unbelievable isn’t it? 70+ dead and it’s quite clear many of those could be avoided, yet we censor the news of failed leadership because “fuck your feelings” is a thing.
  15. Except they may not. It’s not a given the legislature will appropriate the money. If they don’t the plaintiffs don’t get paid.
  16. Media is for profit, that’s it.
  17. I pointed out that this plus the NWS warning at 1am was more than enough to prevent this if camp management was vigilant as they were supposed to be. I’m so goddamned mad right now. There’s no fucking team here. Kids are dead, why in the fuck are people just wanting updates? Fuck that. Every fucking adult that lead to this needs to be fired, removed and run out of town. Don’t care your race, gender, party, don’t care how the fuck do we keep putting up with this shit?
  18. 2 inches fell out west a bit ago so more flooding may occur.
  19. Thankfully it’s during the day
  20. Fuck your feelings. There are two lines of news. Search and rescue and abject failure of leadership from the camp to kerville to Kerr county and on to the state.
  21. State of Texas can’t be bothered to solve a problem like a state of the art warning system.
  22. Holy shit wow that’s so unbelievable
  23. We have some of the highest fatalities from flash flooding in the country. It’s time we have a state funded warning system.
  24. How to help and news about dead kids and whose heads will need to roll are different topics.
