"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. 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/

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."
