  9. #SundayShowdown
    #PuppyKillerNoem is on #MtP defending her response to the #Kerrville Flood [72 hours later], saying over & over again that resources "were deployed AS SOON AS THEY WERE REQUESTED within hours."

    #FEMA shouldn't be waiting for a *request* for help before it's sent. #HeckOfAJobKristi 🤬

  10. #Kerrville #KerrCounty #Texas - July 13, 7:49 a.m. Ground search operations are suspended at this time to flood danger. The potential for a flash flood is high.

  11. I remember the river
    how it felt like a silent companion and always gentle guide
    how it felt timeless, ever present and patiently waiting for our return

    I remember singing “Peace, I ask of thee oh river, peace, peace, peace”

  14. Our top story: Extreme #flooding events are nothing new to #Texas. Neither are droughts. And the first does tend to follow the second here. This weather reality has likely been exacerbated by climate change. texasobserver.org/hill-country

  15. I remember the river,
    flowing so peacefully and slowly you could almost miss its motion
    I remember the river,
    mirroring the vastness of the starry sky stretched far beyond the nestled valley

  17. A reminder! #Mexico offered to come and help in #KerrVille, #Texas in sheer SPITE of the State AND Federal governments policies, not to ingraciate with either, not to curry mercy, they did it because children were hoped to be alive, #Mexicans have a strong moral core remember that when you see #ICE

  19. #DaltonRice is the City Manager of #Kerrville , #Texas where city ‘leaders’ were reluctant to invest in a #FlashFlood warning siren 🚨 in the middle of ‘Flash Flood Alley’.

    When #NWS issued a flash flood warning for the #GuadalupeRiver valley, where children and counselors at #CampMystic did not use cell phones, Dalton Rice said he did not issue evacuation orders because he feared being the one to ‘cry wolf’ if the flood prediction was wrong. spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south

    #MAGA is a cult of #fear.

    "And an upending of disaster aid is far from the only threat Texas faces. For example, the state seeks, and often receives, federal support for investment in critical flood prevention projects. The more intense rainfall that comes with warming (warmer air holds more water) will pose a growing challenge for the management of Texas rivers."

    Well that's an understatement. When was this written?

    Oh, to have a point proven so painfully and so soon.

  22. Rescue workers from the Mexican nonprofit organization Fundación 911 are assisting with search & rescue operations in #Kerrville and #Ingram / #Texas.

  23. Sudden thunderstorms dumped >10 inches of rain on the area, causing heavy #flooding from the #GuadalupeRiver.
