"The total amount of rainfall is not really changing but it is being condensed into more of these short, high-intensity events and then longer periods of drought.

"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."

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."
