There was a recent #flashflood #flood in #Texas which killed a lot of people. Most tragically a girl's summer camp is still missing many girls
Here law enforcement in Texas blames the #NationalWeatherService. The same #NWS#Trump has cut funding for
If you think #MAGA will learn, no they won't
They blame "libruls" "Demoncrats" and the media. This is a reflexive, almost religious conviction, even when it's obviously their own damn fault
We'll see this again with a disease outbreak
Hey y'all. There has been serious, significant, live ending floods in the hill country of Texas. Dozens of little girls are still missing. Scores of people are dead.
If you are in the Dallas area, the Chisholm fire department is collecting the following to take to Kerrville: hygiene items, bleach, brooms, shovels, heavy duty trash bags, sponges, tarps and fans. Please, no clothes or furniture.
Please don't go try to help right now, you'll just get in the way. We can help them rebuild when it' safe to return.

Absolutely horrific what happened to the Christian camp in #Texas. All those lives lost. The flashflood warnings came two hours late. 600 fired from NOOA. Coincidence?
I think what happened was that #God mixed up #Noaa and #Noah. #flood #flooding #flashflood #climatechange #news #usnews.
Maybe the federal government should fully fund some agencies to help. We could call them NOAA and FEMA.
