So we’re basically getting more drought and more #floods because the rainfall is being condensed into these high-intensity events." https://www.texasobserver.org/hill-country-rural-texas-resources-floods/

Deadly flooding hit parts of New Mexico yesterday, while significant street flooding occurred in Chicago. Flooding risks should cover the Carolinas through New Jersey today, with a focus on Virginia perhaps. The tropics remain calm.
Several more inches of #rain are expected Sunday in areas of Central #Texas already devastated by #flooding. Up to 4" could fall Sunday, w/ isolated areas potentially receiving up to 10" thru Monday, per #NWS.
Jason Runyen, a meteorologist for Austin, San Antonio & the surrounding areas, said that while river levels across the region had receded, more rain could exacerbate flooding in the area. Flash flooding in the region killed >67 people, w/dozens missing.

Rescuers searched Saturday for 27 girls missing from a riverside summer camp in the U.S. state of Texas, after torrential rains caused devastating flooding that killed at least 43 people. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/06/world/missing-girls-texas-flood-toll/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #flooding #rain #texas #us
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.
"After severe flooding in non-evacuated areas in Texas has left at least 24 dead with dozens more missing, including several young girls at a summer camp, Texas officials are blaming their failure to act on a faulty forecast by Donald Trump’s new National Weather Service gutted by cuts to their operating budget and most experienced personnel."

"The voters of Texas decided that they wanted Donald Trump and Greg Abbott to be in charge of the government services they received. That is exactly what they are getting. And as of this writing on Saturday morning, Trump still hasn’t said a word about the storm and the little girls who were killed at the camp."
"However, Trump was seen dancing on the balcony of the White House last night celebrating the latest round of cuts in his budget bill that just became law so billionaires and corporations can have huge tax cuts."
There will, sad to say, be more and more consequences to the path we — many of us — have chosen for our nation, serious, lethal consequences.
