accuweather dude says there is a NOAA weather radio transmitter in kerrville

anyone with a NOAA "SAME" weather radio would have received all of the alerts and if the radio was on no way they could sleep through it

all the magat gubbmint had to do was pass out NOAA weather radios to each of the camps and every resident or business owner in the floodplains

Radios, maybe throw in life preservers for each cabin?  Sounds like waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer money.

The partial transcript, which I assume is genuine, shows county commissioners acting on emotions and feelings instead of analyzing costs and benefits. It's sad when people like that are elected to positions with power.

So, there's an active group that wants to disable/destroy weather radar across the nation because they believe it is how the weather is controlled.  The ringleader, who claims to be an independent journalist,  has livestreamed from radar locations, showing the exact location,  fences and other security measures.

An anti-government group is making threats against weather equipment that it says is a “weather weapon” controlled by the military, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned employees.

In emails widely shared with National Weather Service staff this month and obtained by The Washington Post, the NOAA Office of Security warned of threats it said are being coordinated by Veterans on Patrol, an extremist group motivated by anti-government beliefs and conspiracy theories.

 

Quote

NOAA’s central office said in the emails that there were no specific or credible threats at this time, but it did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“Out of an abundance of caution, we are asking all regions to notify their field offices and radar technicians to maintain increased vigilance when at or near radar sites,” NOAA’s central office informed leadership across the country in a May 1 memo, which advised NWS staff to notify local law enforcement of any suspicious behavior.

 

Quote

Experts who track domestic extremism say the group has not taken overtly violent action before, but they say its rhetoric comes amid a rise in domestic extremism fueled by conspiracy theories about the government’s legitimacy. Veterans on Patrol often mobilizes in communities hit by disasters, as it did in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene, and criticizes the government response.

Veterans on Patrol’s messaging is “just another cog in the wheel of anti-government conspiracy theories,” according to Luke Baumgartner, a research fellow at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University.

 

 

Spoiler

Veterans on Patrol on Wednesday posted a response from founder Michael “Lewis Arthur” Meyer to The Post’s requests for comment to its account on social media app Telegram. Meyer said the group will move forward with its plans to target the radars.

“We intend to take as many NexRads offline as possible once our attack simulations have prepared us,” Meyer wrote. He said he had “full authority” to do so. Meyer said the “attack simulations” would go until June but potentially into August, without giving details about the operations.

Meyer, who is not a veteran, originally founded the group as Walking for the Forgotten Ministry, according to Baumgartner and the Southern Poverty Law Center. It first aimed to raise public awareness of the disproportionate rates among veteran suicides, before embracing conspiracy theories like QAnon and vigilantism, the SPLC said.

NOAA said Veterans on Patrol was recruiting people for “penetration drills” on locations hosting Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) systems, which are composed of white, spherical Doppler weather radars that detect precipitation, wind and thunderstorms. The equipment is also operated by the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Air Force to chart aircraft, according to NOAA.

Veterans on Patrol believes the infrastructure is a “weather weapon” controlled by the military against Americans, NOAA wrote in an email. The group’s leadership wrote on repeated messages to Telegram that the equipment was “poisoning our skies.”

The group shared images of radar sites last week, encouraging followers to investigate whether the equipment can be “easily sabotaged.” Messages sent Sunday identified an unspecified NEXRAD site supposedly in Northern California that was visited by a “lone wolf.”

The group also said it had “boots on the ground” gathering information in Washington and Oklahoma. The Veterans on Patrol Telegram group has more than 6,000 followers.

The group has a controversial past, including encouraging armed individuals to conduct border patrols in Arizona, going as far as illegally holding migrants, Baumgartner said.

Similar to other far-right groups, VOP recruits people by offering themselves up as a “safe haven” to those who are struggling, he said.

“Conspiracy theories prey on the vulnerable, and they prey on those seeking answers to the questions that they have about their own lives,” Baumgartner said.

Veterans on Patrol drew national attention last October when members descended on parts of western North Carolina days after Hurricane Helene devastated the region with massive flooding.

At one relief center in a grocery store parking lot in the town of Lake Lure, members of the group began leading an effort to collect and disseminate donated supplies, including bottled water, food and clothing.

But when it became clear to some residents that the group was spreading misinformation — including claims that the government somehow steered Helene into the region so it could take land and harvest minerals, and that the Federal Emergency Management Agency was directing aid toward undocumented immigrants, terrorists and criminals — they pushed back against the group, prompting it to abandon the relief site, The Post previously reported.

Through Apollo, NASA was 90% engineers. By the 80s it was 3% engineers. I'm sure now it is a giant bureaucracy filled with grad school grads who don't know how to do anything. My loathing of what the proliferation of grad students is doing to language and our world grows daily. When was the last time you met a PhD and walked away thinking, that guy is really smart

We're laughing at this gubment controlled weather lunacy for now.  So far, very few in the US Congress or administration have been shameless or stupid enough to be peddling this nonsense but it's catching on with the rank and file MAGA dumbasses. We've already had state legislatures passing or considering chemtrail laws. It's going to get a lot worse than crippling budget cuts to NWS and NOAA. It's all part of the war on science, education, and expertise. I don't see anything that will keep Trump from being infected with this shit soon. Again, adjust your expectations downward.

The obvious New York liberati  rag that is the Wall Street journal can’t be trusted to accurately report the real news.

These media types are in cahoots with these RINO county officials who can’t be trusted. It’s only now that they show their true colors. In reality, it’s not that they wanted more warning systems. No. They didn’t want it. The media is getting it wrong because it’s obvious they want these Christian children gone so that they can be replaced with the liberal taker immigrant children who vote Democrat… which these fake Republican Kerr county officials really are. The Bible warns us wolves in sheep’s clothing. What do you think we just saw?! When prayer is stripped from school AND school is not in session, what is the easiest target for the Devil to go after? That’s right, Christian camps!

This is the devil’s liberal sleeper cell was activated just has he had designed !


We need to trust a true conservative patriot like Dan Patrick. A man who knows what it is to be a true Texan unlike what we see in Kerr County. 
We need a man that’s been bathed in God’s wonderful grace like Greg Abbott to lead us through these obvious punishments for the Godless ways of the last 4 years. You can’t make everyone wear masks (mark of the beast anymore?!?!?!!!??), empower a cabal of pedophiles,  and mutilate a generation of children without consequences.

Thankfully we now have Trump leading the charge. A man so righteous that he was saved by the loving hand of the lord to deliver us from these obvious punishments from God. He was saved and only he can save us now!!! 
Do not believe the Wall Street journal!!!!

That article has at least one glaring inaccuracy.  It says "showed an inability to get state and federal funds".  A truthful representation should have said "showed political unwillingness to take funds from the Obama administration".

Timeline now showing 22 warnings were issued from Thursday afternoon at 1pm through Friday afternoon. 

The city manager dude saw the alerts but apparently made no effort to alert anyone in any way. He did go for a run...at 3:30am. You know, normal emergency protocol.

I'm amazed that people are defending the camp morons. They're calling the owner a 'heroe' (popular Facebook spelling) for dying while trying to save girls. This idiot either ignored the flash-flood warnings starting at 1pm on Thursday, including the evacuation warning at 1am on Friday, or he didn't receive the warnings. Either way, he is 100% culpable. 

It's weird. It's almost like the local authorities didn't do anything when it mattered most, which is previously unheard of in Texas.

In the DTs thread, there's a perfect encapsulation of the lunacy of the DTs, no CR! phenomenon. It's ok to call out one side with a collection of screenshots of posts from complete randos but it's CR! to post the conversation between those county officials who turned down a federal grant for a warning system that would've prevented most of the deaths because Obama. If they'd had a better reason for not having it built, like county is broke or whatever, then it would be non-political to criticize those officials. Since those idiots are on record refusing a free system for the dumbest possible reason, because Obama, it's therefore political and DTs crybabies must be shielded from it.

Guys shut the fuck up, this isn't hard. Stop putting partisan bullshit that isn't news and is straight up political discussion in threads that aren't in CR. 

Having meeting minutes from a real meeting that happened come out showing that they declined warning systems isn't political and it's not being moved, this thread already exists. Stop bitching and acting like I'm shielding anyone from anything. It's not fucking weird or strange for someone to not want politics injected into every fucking conversation that happens. As much as all of you want to blame everything that happened on someone, there was hundreds of fuckups that led to this and any one of them could have made he situation better. 

I am seriously considering shutting down the board anytime something like this happens because none of you can fucking handle it anymore, you've all become broken brained idiots who can't fucking do anything but talk shit to people in a community that's not fucking growing. You aren't on fucking twitter or Facebook there isn't a billion users. There's the same people that have posted here for decades at this point. You aren't changing anyone's fucking mind, you aren't enlightening anyone, nothing you do here fucking matters for things outside of Texas sports and recruiting where this is a very large contingent of the internet community. 

Are there a bunch if thin skinned morons who are clearly maga bitching about shit that hurts their feelings? Yeah, so what fuck them. 

I'm tired of babysitting all you fucks who think it's okay to go and put fully political opinions in news threads. Not everything is political and if you have that opinion you aren't being silenced this board and thread is perfect for that. 

Some of you seriously don't, or can't realize that the recruiting thread updates over the same time period as this topic has 15x the views.

I want discussions outside of football and sports to take place here, but there are perfectly reasonable asks related to keeping the board clean and topical to the sections. This isn't a crazy ask, this isn't a conspiracy theory where immamac and the mods are pushing a conservative agenda. We aren't protecting anyone. Stop being such whiney thin skinned little bitches and just follow the fucking rules that have been in place for well over a decade.

Behind the scenes, NWS officials were communicating with local emergency managers in the affected region over an internal messaging platform. Typically, the media is expected to treat messages from this platform as off-the-record, but a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration official granted CNN permission to report general information about the Texas disaster from the platform.

The messages show that after initial briefings on the afternoon of Thursday, July 3, about the potential of heavy rains to come, emergency managers from some counties in the region were posting on the system, querying forecasters about what to expect. Those messages picked up in pace as the flooding began in the early hours of July 4.

But no emergency manager from Kerr County participated in those discussions on the messaging platform. It’s unclear whether officials were reviewing the information being shared. 

There will be lies from the liars about this. Everytime I see a clip from mutually congratulatory officials at a press conference I imagine Gunnery Sergeant Hartman walking in from a side door and looking at the camera and adapting this exortation to the situation.
