  1. Oh...rafael cruises again
  2. At some point these dipshits will hopefully understand that global warming is not only making downpours more frequent, but more intense, as well. Your side piece would've understood. Anyway here's the Kerrville cm along with all the cowards in city leadership running out of the room yesterday while a reporter yells at him that parents are demanding answers. m2-res_470p.mp4
  3. The phones at the beginning of the flood were as silent as the county staff. (Post article)
  4. WaPo has a similar article. Hadn't heard the bit about the campground before though. https://archive.is/5CaY8
  5. The fascist-run NY Times is concerned about NWS links https://archive.is/VlcgG or https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/us/politics/texas-floods-warnings-vacancies.html?unlocked_article_code=1.UU8.x2Ca.Fw9HbFj_AGXz&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
  6. Officials across the country report being “ghosted” by FEMA - apparently the Trump regime has majorly restricted FEMA’s ability to directly communicate without their words first being evaluated by political appointees (who don’t have disaster experience). https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/02/politics/fema-critical-funding-disaster-response
  7. Texas Tribune https://www.texastribune.org/2025/07/06/texas-disaster-warning-emergency-communication-bill-kerrville-floods
  8. I'm tired of not knowing what this meme is so I'm outing myself. Someone please.
  9. That was not real. and also since this thread is supposedly only for weather info, your post ran afoul of the rules, and so did my post correcting yours. Shame on me.
  10. See above. Then someone 3ish posts after yours had something from xitter.
  11. Dumb q probably - but do I understand, he went to the camp after the NWS warning, so probably close to 2 when he got there? Then he couldn't find her after 2 hours of searching, but somehow reached her on a cell phone? And she died in the flood. Jfc.
  12. You could just read what was posted a few posts before yours with links to their archived website. Or you could just surmise based on your experience at some random camp 50 years ago. Which is best? Who knows?
  13. https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/the-not-so-happy-campers/ https://web.archive.org/web/20250124220815/https://www.campmystic.com/
  14. Wait 'til more people figure out all the work their children have been putting into school so they can go to med school is for naught because there's no longer any gov't. student loans available. I'm not sure if that'd go into news or CR though so...
  15. I don't think that's the case anymore. Either way many people have stopped using it over the years -- or if they're less than 50 years old they may never have used it -- and the site is antagonistic at best towards its users and real information, anyway.
  16. Wow I stumbled upon a sentient aggy. Oh, wait
  17. https://www.kxan.com/investigations/federal-forecast-concerns-surface-in-texas-deadly-flooding-debate/ This strikes me as extremely fucked up in a multitude of ways. 4 hours later. Posting it on Facebook and pretending that's where people get their news.
  18. I've been thinking a compare and contrast with the emergency response between the floods, the CA fires and Uvalde would be interesting. But maybe not. https://www.kxan.com/investigations/federal-forecast-concerns-surface-in-texas-deadly-flooding-debate/
  19. Anything I write about this will come off as far too ragey so I'll say nada.
  20. I didn't post Jim Spencer's news in this thread last night. i
  21. I wouldn't/don't and that's not what I said. I'm saying significant fault lays at the state's feet for this and so many other natural and environmental tragedies. There's actual shitholes run more professionally than Texas. Governments have open records, public budgets, public meetings, officials who are SUPPOSED to manage them for the public's benefits. I realize that's not how things are in Texas but a private corporation does none of that. The expectation to be able to trust some corporation with you or your kids' lives rather than the gov't seems kinda crazy.
