After the usual bullshit from the usual suspects, here is the inestimable Roger Pielke to the rescue.


This is the most dangerous river valley in the United States. . . We do not have a warning system.” — Judge Rob Kelly, Kerr County, Texas, 4 July 2025


As I write this, the death toll in the Texas flash floods now exceeds 70, with 12 people still missing, including 11 girls and one camp counselor. It is a heartbreaking and horrific tragedy.

Many have been quick to politicize the tragedy in an effort to support whatever agenda that they were promoting before the disaster —...

The NWS actually had extra staff on duty that night, and issued watches and then warnings. The problem was it happened in the middle of the night when ppl were asleep. Most don't have weather alert radios. Our phones give us weather warning alerts, but it's possibly that cell service was absent or spotty in that rural area so none were received. Two things could have helped: Campground hosts should be required to have a weather radio on at all times, and 2) people should take responsibility for making sure that they are weather aware as well and prepared to be able to receive warnings if necessary. Not just in flash flood areas, but anywhere there might be tornaodes, lightning, wildfires, dangerous wild animals, etc. It's just common sense.

Wow, ThatOwlWoman was fair and honest. This is honestly the first time I have witnessed this from her. Credit where it's due.

Kerr County, Texas, was hit by flooding last week, resulting in 68 deaths. But Donald Trump has yet to visit the disaster-afflicted region and seems to have spent Saturday enjoying some leisure time

Nothing, he's just being an arsehole as usual.

As early as Wednesday, Texas officials were marshalling the state's emergency response resources to prepare for the coming storm.

Here's a timeline of the catastrophic Texas floods

By Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service's Austin/San Antonio office had issued a flood watch for multiple counties, warning of "pockets of heavy rain" and the potential for flooding.

But when the storm unleashed its historic ferocity in the early hours of Friday morning, many were caught by surprise. Heavy downpours lifted the Guadalupe River 26 feet in just 45 minutes. First responders had to rescue hundreds of people who were left stranded by the rising waters, and at least 78 people died. Sixty-eight of those fatalities occurred in Kerr County. Many people are missing.

Judge Rob Kelly, the top-elected official in Kerr County, told reporters that flooding is common to the area, which he called the most dangerous river valley in the U.S., but it's rarely this devastating.

"We didn't know this flood was coming," Kelly said. "Rest assured, no one knew this kind of flood was coming."

A spokesperson for the National Weather Service (NWS), however, noted that the agency held forecast briefings for emergency officials on Thursday, issued a flood watch on Thursday and sent out flash flood warnings Thursday evening and Friday morning.

"The National Weather Service remains committed to our mission to serve the American public through our forecasts and decision support services," NWS spokesperson Erica Grow Cei said in a statement.

In the aftermath of the storm, a division began to form between National Weather Service forecasters and some Texas officials who felt that their weather reports did not accurately predict the catastrophic power of the storm. But meteorologists say it is exceptionally difficult to guess exactly what a complex weather system will do and then convince officials and the public to prepare for the worst.

Extreme weather events can be tricky to predict

Michael Morgan, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said precipitation forecasting remains "one of the most vexing problems" of his field.

With 80 People Dead From Texas Flooding, Including Over 20 Children, Republicans Still Say “The Savings From From Cuts To Weather Warning Services Was Worth It.​




“Thoughts and prayers” was the reply from all the Republican congressman and senators, “Just like we offer when there are school shootings”. Face it, these floods are going get more frequent in Texas, and our strong Texas Citizens are just going to have to get used to it; just like extreme weather events happening all over the world, are getting worse. People just need to deal with it and go to church. Because there’s one thing for sure with Texans: we ain’t getting rid of guns - you have to pry them from our dead, cold hands, and we ain’t gonna admit that billions of vehicles spewing tons of exhaust every day is causing the planet to warm faster. So you’ll just have to pry our guns from our dead, cold hands after we drowned in a flood.

MAGAts could care less. They have the money in their pockets and, of course, it's not their kids.

Meteorologist Tells Americans He Can’t Do His Job Properly Because of Trump Administration’s “Sledgehammer Attack on Science”​

How many Americans will be upset by Trump's chainsawing of weather services by the end of hurricane season. I'm guessing it'll be in the millions.

OTOH, maybe TACO will do his thing and add more money to the national debt by restoring services? He's already adding trillions. What's a few billion more as long as his oligarchs keep their tax cuts?
