  1. Mittens posted a statement from the Austin Firefighters Association- interesting timeline - state of Texas started mobilizing on July 2, 2025, a full 1.5-2 days before the flood for those that were assured there would be no math. How were local counties and municipalities not in comms with our state leadership? these mother fuckers are covering up repeated negligence in broad daylight blaming the NWS which did its job, local meteorologists who did their job, and engaging in performative cosplay bullshit. Failures at every level, private, local and state. our state government priorities are so fucking out of whack, and more kids died. Again.
  2. Timeline is interesting
  3. I can never follow this shit so is Rex Kramer the handle his semi behaved persona and then he’s got depraved alter egos? Back in the Dr beeper and some other alter he and I got way into it but I lost track of how he operated, actually never really cared enough to know. I look at my ignore list though and beeper is still on it.
  4. I was sure I knew who it was but was wrong. There’s several posters that I think fit your description.
  5. Yeah this isn’t rocket science, all of this is plain as day.
  6. Those entrusted with 700 girls in low lying areas for damn sure better be.
  7. I agree. I’ve said it a dozen times. Personal responsibility, local government should be a redundancy. State government should intervene when you have systemic risk over a broad area or the costs are too much for local tax base. There plenty of blame to go around.
  8. That’s awesome. Let’s be clear though. That’s humanity, it’s not uniquely Texan.
  9. I think it deflects blame from camp, local and state officials. the storm was stronger than anyone expected but the forecast was severe enough to cause reasonable people to take action, and they did not. Those are the ones to blame.
  10. He want after the flood he spoke with her around 4am and the phone abruptly cut out.
  11. 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?
  12. Ugh. The only time I had a positive feeling in all of this was when I read that first report.
  13. Everybody need to be woke at 1am when a flood is coming.
  14. 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.
  15. Raining in 37700…
  16. For all I know the camp has liberal owners I don’t care. Accountability should know no party affiliation.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Little girls screamed to their death because adults failed them at every level. Outrage is warranted.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
