Title: Trump to blame for Texas flood deaths
Post by Armchair_Politician on Jul 11th, 2025 at 8:47am
It is abundantly clear that Trump is directly responsible for the deaths that occurred as a result of the flooding in Texas. He gutted the Weather Service that could have given some warning of the impending danger. He gutted FEMA, with his Sec. of Homeland Security also putting in place red tape that would cost lives and hampered a swift response. Just more incompetence from an administration of amateurs who should have stuck to reality TV shows.

Serious question, are you retarded?

The Weather Service did a good job with the information you had here. I don't think the staffing cuts contributed to this," said Andy Hazelton, a climate scientist who was laid off from NOAA where he modelled hurricane paths.

While experts say the National Weather Service issued alerts in a timely manner over the weekend, the deadly incident carries warnings about what could happen if the NWS and NOAA are not properly staffed and funded in the future

Yep.  He's 100% to blame.

And to rub salt in the wounds, he hasn't even visited the site yet - he's too busy playing golf, stuffing up tariff deals, burying the Epstein files and hosting war criminals at the White House.

All because Project 2025 links accurate weather forecasting with climate change, and wants to gut the very institutions that give us the data, recommending the downsizing and commercialisation of NOAA because they see it as part of the "climate change alarm industry".

Now, a deep-red state is drowning, literally, and their Governor's response is to dismiss accountability as "loser talk". All to keep people from noticing that the red on their MAGA hats isn't just fabric dye anymore, it's blood.

MAGA really are stupid.

Trump dragged his feet, delaying the Major Disaster Declaration until July 6, 2025, long after the floods had begun. That declaration was supposed to kickstart FEMA's involvement. But thanks to Kristi Noem's new policy requiring her personal sign-off on anything over $100k, FEMA's Urban Search and Rescue teams weren't authorised to deploy for over 72 hours. They finally arrived on Monday, July 7, far too late for many.

And yet, in contrast, a Mexican rescue team from Coahuila's Protección Civil and Bomberos de Acuña got the call from Texas EquuSearch, left Mexico at 5 a.m. on July 6, and were in Kerr County that same day helping Texans escape rising waters.

Think about that: after all the demonisation from Trump, all the border wall theatre, all the race-baiting, Mexico still got boots on the ground before the US federal government.

Say it louder: MAGA really are stupid.

Staff and equipment from FEMA, which falls under the purview of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, couldn’t be deployed for more than 72 hours AFTER the disaster unfolded because she had put into place a requirement that such resources needed her personal approval. As with all disasters, time is crucial and because of red tape created by her, the FEMA response was hamstrung for more than 3 days!

That is wrong. The National Weather Service gave flash flood warnings. They can only work if people pay attention.

"On Friday morning, heavy rains led to catastrophic flooding along the Guadalupe River in central Texas. 

Tragically, it appears that at least fifty people lost their lives. 

But what is particularly disturbing is that the National Weather Service (NWS) provided excellent warnings and forecasts before the event that clearly predicted a substantial threat. 

And yet, no attempt at evacuation was made.

Furthermore, weather model forecasts indicated the potential for a major precipitation event over this historically flood-prone region during the prior days."

This is a thread killer.

BBC Verify has examined the impact of cuts under President Trump in this area and while there has been a reduction in the workforce at the NWS, experts who we spoke to said the staffing on hand for the Texas floods appears to have been adequate.

This would take effect in the 2026 financial year which begins in October this year - so these particular cuts would not have contributed to the Texas tragedy.

Adequate for what? Forecasting and issuing warnings?

Maybe, but as usual, there's far more beneath the surface.

Meet Paul Yura, the Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the National Weather Service (NWS) Austin/San Antonio office. With over 32 years' experience, Yura was instrumental in communicating severe weather threats to local authorities and the public.

"Was", because that role is now empty.

Guess why?

His departure in April 2025, triggered by federal buyout offers tied to Trump's DOGE cuts, left a serious void in the region's emergency communication. By early July 2025, six out of 27 positions in that office remained unfilled, including Yura's.

Former NOAA and NWS officials highlighted that while forecasts were as accurate as possible given the circumstances, the loss of experienced personnel hindered effective communication with local authorities during the crisis.

It may have killed the thread, but not the way you think it would.

"THE DAY BEFORE, the NWS Forecast Office in San Antonia put out a flood watch for central Texas Hill Country, which included the site of the tragedy."

[url]  https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-texas-flooding-tragedy-could-it.html[/url]

"Tuesday, July 2

On July 2, the Texas Division of Emergency Management said it activated "state emergency response resources in anticipation of increased threats of flooding in parts of West and Central Texas heading into the holiday weekend."
Thursday, July 3

10:48 a.m.: The National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center upgrades portions of south-central Texas, including Kerr County and surrounding areas, to a level 2 of 4 risk for excessive rainfall.

1:18 p.m.: A flood watch is issued by the NWS Austin/San Antonio office, including Kerr County and surrounding areas in south-central Texas, through Friday morning.

The alert mentions locally heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding in the region with isolated amounts of 5 to 7 inches possible, adding, "Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks."

6:10 p.m.: The Weather Prediction Center highlights the south-central Texas region (including Texas Hill Country) as an area of increasing concern for slow-moving, training thunderstorms (meaning rounds of thunderstorms moving over the same area) with the potential for rainfall rates exceeding 3 inches per hour into the evening hours and beyond."

https://abcnews.go.com/US/timeline-catastrophic-flooding-texas-claims-lives-27/story?id=123500139

And that was all the day before the flood.

"Friday, July 4

1:14 a.m.: A flash flood warning is issued for Bandera and Kerr counties and include the "considerable" alert tag.

Flash flood warnings with the impact-based warning tags "considerable" or "catastrophic" denote high-damage threats, according to the NWS, and will automatically trigger Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) on enabled mobile devices, including NOAA weather radios.

This ensures only the most life-threatening flash flood events prompt urgent public notifications.

This NWS alert mentioned flash flooding and highlighted the threat of "life-threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses" for locations like Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt, and the Kerr Wildlife Management area to name a few.

3:35 a.m.: The original flash flood warning is upgraded and includes more serious and specific wording:

"Move to higher ground now. Act quickly to protect your life. Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or creeks."

4:03 a.m.: The flash flood warning is upgraded to a flash flood emergency for south-central Kerr County, Including Hunt.

"Numerous low water crossings as well as the Guadalupe River at Hunt are flooding. Between 4 and 10 inches of rain have fallen. The expected rainfall rate is 2 to 4 inches in 1 hour. Additional rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is already occurring," the NWS wrote.

It continued, "This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for South-central Kerr County, including Hunt. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!"

4:35 a.m.: First reports of flash flooding start coming in from local officials, including the Kerr County Sheriff's Office, reporting flash flooding at low water crossings."

All this, a reflection of his character here, as he pursues his moral superiority over us, like an Anti-Villain doomed to deny that what he does - is an evil thing in itself.
Him drinking a cafe-latte in Perth, makes him no different to a Houso on the grog in Sydney.  Both in denial that their beloved Media, is not Politics and hence why Peccary fails to fit into this Forum upon a pro-political positive way.

10:48 a.m.: The National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center upgrades portions of south-central Texas, including Kerr County and surrounding areas, to a level 2 of 4 risk for excessive rainfall.

1:18 p.m.: A flood watch is issued by the NWS Austin/San Antonio office, including Kerr County and surrounding areas in south-central Texas, through Friday morning.

The alert mentions locally heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding in the region with isolated amounts of 5 to 7 inches possible, adding, "Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks."

6:10 p.m.: The Weather Prediction Center highlights the south-central Texas region (including Texas Hill Country) as an area of increasing concern for slow-moving, training thunderstorms (meaning rounds of thunderstorms moving over the same area) with the potential for rainfall rates exceeding 3 inches per hour into the evening hours and beyond."

https://abcnews.go.com/US/timeline-catastrophic-flooding-texas-claims-lives-27/story?id=123500139

And that was all the day before the flood.

"Friday, July 4

1:14 a.m.: A flash flood warning is issued for Bandera and Kerr counties and include the "considerable" alert tag.

Flash flood warnings with the impact-based warning tags "considerable" or "catastrophic" denote high-damage threats, according to the NWS, and will automatically trigger Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) on enabled mobile devices, including NOAA weather radios.

This ensures only the most life-threatening flash flood events prompt urgent public notifications.

This NWS alert mentioned flash flooding and highlighted the threat of "life-threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses" for locations like Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt, and the Kerr Wildlife Management area to name a few.

3:35 a.m.: The original flash flood warning is upgraded and includes more serious and specific wording:

"Move to higher ground now. Act quickly to protect your life. Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or creeks."

4:03 a.m.: The flash flood warning is upgraded to a flash flood emergency for south-central Kerr County, Including Hunt.

"Numerous low water crossings as well as the Guadalupe River at Hunt are flooding. Between 4 and 10 inches of rain have fallen. The expected rainfall rate is 2 to 4 inches in 1 hour. Additional rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is already occurring," the NWS wrote.

It continued, "This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for South-central Kerr County, including Hunt. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!"

4:35 a.m.: First reports of flash flooding start coming in from local officials, including the Kerr County Sheriff's Office, reporting flash flooding at low water crossings."

The day of the flood.

You should make sure you get your timelines straight. ::)

That's okay, Lee. We're all wondering whether you're to blame too.

After all, you both push the lie that global warming isn't happening/doesn't matter/isn't anything to worry about, when in actual fact, it's the cause of all these so-called random, once-in-a-lifetime disasters.

Increased rainfall and floods, you see, are the result of the earth heating up, precipitating condensation, forming rain clouds and causing, you know, torrential rain.

The earth heating up is the result of increased CO2 emissions, which have increased average global temperatures by at least 0.2 percent each decade since the 1970s.

I know I know, it's so unfair, so complicated, and you'll refer to some Tim Flannery interview from 2001 to say what krap. But do you know?

It is happening, and these are the results. California wildfires in Winter, Texan floods in Summer, increasingly devastating hurricanes during the cyclone seasons. After all, with population increasing, housing density expanding and CO2 levels through the roof, natural disasters caused by global warming are happening all over the world, right before our eyes.

Your DL is the first American prez to dismiss them out of hand. What's more, he's spent the past ten years telling the kinds of lies that spook Americans out of federally-funded disaster-prevention projects and is planning to close FEMA down altogether.

Locally based officials in Texan flood-prone areas rejected FEMA's offer of an early warning system in 2021. They spent their pandemic relief funds in Kerr County on raises to local officials and a new walking path. Since then, funding requests to Texan water authorities went under-funded, leaving locals to fend for themselves.

There is, of course, a bit of a pattern here.

Throughout the Sunbelt during the 2024 hurricane season, MAGA supporters were out with guns, protecting their property from FEMA, rumoured to be coming to seize their land.

While the prez toured the hardest hit areas, your DL was in Mar a Lago, blaming the hurricanes on Sleepy Joe Biden. DL said he didn't know if it was corruption or incompetence, but perhaps it was time to get rid of FEMA altogether.

When your DL finally visited North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, your DL claimed Sleepy Joe had rejected funds to Republican states. The governors of North and South Carolina both came out to dismiss this claim. The governor of Florida refused to comment.

He had refused to take Sleepy Joe's calls at all.

When your DL visited LA in the aftermath of the California fires, he blamed the governor, Gavin "New Scum". DL was campaigning to become the president of the US of A at the time. He put the cause of the unprecedented Winter fires down to a protected species of endangered fish, 4000 miles away from the fires in remote Northern California.

When your DL finally decided to visit Texas yesterday, he praised the work of state and federal authorities, saying they had done an incredible job, the likes of which we've never seen before.

DL praised Kristi Noem during their cabinet meeting on Tuesday, saying nobody had gone in quicker than FEMA. Kristi had to explain that states respond to natural disasters, not FEMA. She went on to remind him of his own plans to can the federal agency:

”We’re cutting through the paperwork", she said, "streamlining it, much like your vision of how FEMA should operate.”

DL must have given Kristi a strange look, so she went on to explain the importance of giving out hugs.

The fake news wanted to know more, so they asked his press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who's response was reminiscent of the message coming out of factory megaphones in China, when Mao was in power:

“The president wants to ensure that American citizens always have what they need during times of need,” she said. "Whether that assistance comes from states or the federal government, that is a policy discussion that will continue."

She refused to take any further questions on the subject.

So, is your DL to blame for the waters of a river rising over 20 feet in the space of a few pre-dawn hours?

No. Is he to blame for spreading lies, creating chaos, overturning civil political discourse, sewing political division, creating scapegoats, promoting conspiracies, sabotaging the US federal government, undermining the work of state governments, destroying as many of America's institutions as he can and exploiting the system for his own personal profit?

I think we all know the answer to that, Lee. There's only one question that remains.

Do you support it?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

California has a history of winter fires, try blaming the drying Santa Ana winds.

"Data from California wildfires since 1984 shows that only four major fires have occurred in the winter months, with the majority of large-scale blazes sparking in summer. Before this year’s Palisades and Eaton fires, the largest January wildfire in California history was the 2001 Viejas Fire, which burned over 17 square miles."

I know you don't like Fox, but I am sure if you searched your favourite news site they would have something. ;)

So do summer floods in Texas include May? It certainly ain't winter. Try 1972 South Central Texas Flood.

"Increasingly devastating cyclones"? Is that what you want to go with? Not perhaps increased intensity cyclones? Cyclone devastation is a population, property ownership problem. The more people, the more they own ... the greater the devastation. ;)

Did he? The cause of the fire? Or merely the lack of water to fight the fires? You know the pulling down of dams. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

"The largest dam removal project in U.S. history has been completed on the Klamath River near the California-Oregon border, restoring a continuous flow of water to nearly 400 miles of river habitat for the first time in over a century.

California officials announced that the final work has concluded on the removal of four large hydroelectric dams that previously blocked the river. Officials say the estimated $450 million project has finished ahead of schedule and within budget.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s office touted the project’s completion in a statement Wednesday.

“This is a monumental achievement—not just for the Klamath River but for our entire state, nation and planet. By taking down these outdated dams, we are giving salmon and other species a chance to thrive once again while also restoring an essential lifeline for tribal communities who have long depended on the health of the river,” said Newsom."

Most of California is desert like if not actual desert. It often suffers water shortages with an increasing population. But they don't need dams in a hostile environment? ::)

Strangely overturning constitutions is not a problem. All constitutions are living products, that may from time to time be amended, even here in Australia.

However you seem to lack some perspective.

The Paris Agreement, formerly known as the Paris Treaty on Climate Change, was not enabled to be a treaty. Why was that? It was because Obama wouldn't take it to Congress for ratification. So Obama trammelled over Congressional approval, and in so doing did more to damage the Constitution than anyone else.

But I think you knew that, it is just have your preferred winners. ;)

"The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 195 Parties at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, France, on 12 December 2015. It entered into force on 4 November 2016."

And even that is wrong because it isn't legally binding. It has no enforcement powers.

Now, if you asked silly old moi if I supported lies, crime, the destruction of our institutions, trade agreements and contracts, overturning constitutions and dismissing the very foundation of truth, justice and the American way, I'd say I most certainly do not.

Like you've agreed, dear, you support it. And you support the lies to get you there.

Thanks, Lee. We're done here now.

Oh look, you're down to one line - and five chuckles.

Looks like we're finally making progress, ya?

Blaming Trump for the floods is the Left's meager attempt to hide from their disastrous incompetence of diversity narrative with the Californian wild fires.

And the responses by you are getting weaker and weaker, like a vampire exposed to sunlight.
