kerr county doesn't need a billion dollars to solve this problem forever
gauge stations every mile that send readings to a central station, and when there is any sudden increase in flow it trips the storm sirens
wait... sorry... they don't have any of that infrastructure that would cost less than a million dollars to build and 100k a year to maintain
they needed to have not been terminated in the first place
the regime is scared shitless about this tragedy - it's why they delayed the presser an hour so gnome could get there - they know their evil malfeasance and performative cruelty just cost 75 magats their lives including MAGAT cHiLdReN
aggy are going to be the canary on this one - if the regime comes up with talking points that satiate aggy they will escape - if they don't......
every river that drains off the balcones is at risk for this same event
it's not new
1987 guadalupe, crested at 29 feet, 10 kids died
1998 guadalupe, cuero was flooded although 2.5 miles from the river
2015 blanco, 13 dead

to the mod or mods doing the reality re-engineering edit and moving posts from the dt thread over here, there are a bunch that should be moved, that haven't been
same joke as wheel's "grid protection" presser during the 21 vortex when 48 hours in to no power for half the state 100%-empty office buildings in downtown austin were lit up like a christmas tree
performative fascism
psa: lake medina sits at 2.9%, the top of the dam is 1076', and these deaths took place at 1900', so it remains comical that we do not have a giant flood control system for these hill country rivers that do this once every 10 years
i was laying in bed at 2am watching the system sit in place and rotate - it was a tight, 50-mile wide miniature hurricane and looked exactly like the blanco event from 15 which i also watched live on the radar
maybe wheels and paxton can hire some fascist cruelty iterns to take turns watching the kxan radar - that's all it would have taken to save 50 dead kids
