  1. i like the quotes around "rare" because the aerial imagery makes clear these are not 500- or even 100- year events if it's flat next to a river in the hill country, it's a floodplain hydrology $9.95
  2. thank you for this nugget - i had not seen it
  3. it should be razed to the ground, all traces of human construction removed, including the foundations and roads, and returned to hill country floodplain
  4. if i'm reading this correctly, they turned down $1mil of free fema grant money for storm sirens because it would have meant using an obama disaster declaration to get the money using the 2015 flood which killed the kids in the school bus there are 2 streets in highland park this morning with green and white ribbons on at least one tree for multiple houses someone with river oaks access please do a driveby and report back
  5. if 20 sets of white parents call a news conference and angrily demand answers to questions like this the magats are going to scramble like roaches when the lights are turned on - their only recourse will be to eat themselves - they will have no other "other" to attack or blame for the tragedy
  6. it's going to take some time (2 weeks!) to find out if the parents of these girls are going to sacrifice them to the orange god the republican newspeak regime owns these deaths - as pointed out they've been in power in texas for 31 years - they can't blame biden or kamala or obama for kerrville's idiotic lack of storm sirens - and the serendipity (!) of this tragedy happening on July 4th should not be lost on the religious right - it could have been simply a local texas thing but no - wheels and gnome had to suck orange cock on national presser for no reason whatsoever - so they made this tragedy the ultimate test of magat loyalty - will the parents of these girls sacrifice them to the orange god? - or will they bring the wrath of the god of abraham?
  7. i think we are going to learn that the campers and counselors: - were on their own - had no plan - had no training on situational awareness - had no idea a flood was even possible
  8. plaintext It was about 1 a.m. on the Fourth of July when the facilities manager at a central Texas summer camp saw water from the Guadalupe River steadily rising amid a deluge of rain. Aroldo Barrera notified his boss, who had been monitoring reports of the storms approaching Presbyterian Mo-Ranch Assembly, a recreation destination where an intercultural youth conference had been called off early just hours earlier. Despite an absence of warning by local authorities, camp officials acted quickly on their own, relocating about 70 children and adults staying overnight in a building near the river. With the kids safe, camp leaders including President and CEO Tim Huchton were able to avoid the catastrophe that hit at least one other camp near Hunt, where the 500-acre Mo-Ranch is located. “They helped them pack up,” Lisa Winters, communications director for Mo-Ranch, told The Associated Press on Sunday. “They got them up, they got them out, put them up on higher ground.” They had a plan and executed it. In another report I heard they actually moved a bunch of kayaks and canoes to higher ground also. The same thought process probably went on at La Junta as well. To @troph’s point all the camps should have an emergency plan and drill on it before any kids show up. It’s government’s job to require they have it in place and provide adequate warning.

  9. it is beyond asinine that kerrville does not have tornado sirens in the year 2025 i'm shocked we don't have a state law that requires them for any city of more than 1000 people
  10. this is the best explanation of why the right cries for the protection of the right in dt it explains why ana and seed and others write what they write
  11. synthetic aperture radar using certain frequencies can detect human remains not above top secret but certainly not openly discussed the deployment of this level of technology to find these remains is verboten in a 'news' thread
  12. the us is not getting that call come on
  13. can't make any moves yet - this is possibly a 120' game + kicks
  14. john strong is annoying as fuck cardoso and mcglynn for adams and berhater would be my moves
  15. the emergency alert coordinator job is empty was that person terminated? when the nws issues a biblical flood warning, that title sounds like the person that calls the county commissioner's cell at 114 am and says hey just a heads up you guys got this?
  16. except there are 2 dozen pissed-off rich/right/white dads that lost their girls this is why the regime is scared and why the state resources didn't just flow they teleported in to place by 9am it's just reality - i'm neither defending nor attacking their white privilege will these po'ed dads take a knee for their orange god? we'll know in 2 weeks
  17. asked about noaa cuts affecting the disaster starts shaking his head no then the tariff guy jumps in and said no then dotard says no the cuts had no effect it was biden but no he won't blame biden either it was a 100-year event he's coming to texas on friday
  18. quadruple dog dared orange man tarmac impromptu presser just now on cnn asked "are you still going to phase out fema?" dotard: "they're working right now so we can talk about that later"
  19. someone tweet sporkfoot - we need those space lasers!
  20. i posted some content in the cr thread which supports the hypothesis that this type of event on the guadalupe south fork is far more frequent than every 500 years
  21. when bastrop was burning one of the 10-tankers was sitting on the runway in california for 18 hours waiting for perry to sign the paperwork for the aggy forest service to rent the plane he was in new jersey (get a rope) campaigning for potus and houses burned for an extra day until he got back for his presser where he could sign the paperwork on tv by the time the plane got to bergstrom the next day the fire was out - 500 more houses and 1000 head trapped at the river burned for his bullshit - aggy forest service paid $1.2M for the logistics to move the chem to bergstrom which was then flown back to cal unused
  22. depending on where a stationary/meandering/rotating rain event is parked, you could have the same data downstream of the merge, and the north fork bone dry, or the south fork bone dry; every river that drains over the balcones has multiple tributaries that are potential deathtraps and every one of them needs gauging stations in locations like the one i posed above where it's clear a wall of water has come through an area every so often for thousands of years, but that would not be logical to dipshits using this tragedy as a reason to reduce government
  23. the black/yellow polygon is the watershed that killed the kids and anyone at mystic - it's incredibly small, but as i highlighted above - it's not an unforseen never-happened-before event and having just read mystic dates to 1926 i have no doubt that institutional memory of this same kind of event was alive before ww2 but probably considered it to be a "1000-year" event; it would only be recorded in the archives of the kerrville newspaper(s) if at all
  24. my interpretation of this data is that there is zero anything on the south fork of the guad:
