Featured story: I walked into an apartment slipping and stumbling on mud so thick I couldn’t see the floor underneath. The table in the dining room was set, decorated with charger plates, flowers, and napkins nicely folded. The mud and debris covered everything. https://www.texasobserver.org/where-the-water-reached/

Critical disaster-response legislation is once again going ignored as part of a longer pattern of climate-reactive discussions at the Legislature in which #Republicans pull their collective fingers out of their ears only to offer piecemeal relief in the aftermath of deadly disaster. https://www.texasobserver.org/gop-flood-relief-what-not-pass-climate/

New from Candice Bernd: The Texas GOP has had years to prioritize critical disaster-response legislation but has instead refused to engage with hundreds of proposed bills to better prepare for disasters and ensure more resilience to climate change. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-gop-say-flood-relief-is-priority-heres-the-climate-policy-they-wont-pass/

Featured story: We forget what we don’t want to remember. While I understand that impulse, there are dangers embedded in our forgetfulness. This is especially true for anyone living in Flash Flood Alley. https://www.texasobserver.org/san-antonio-hill-country-floods-history-1921-2025/

The #Indigenous people of what is now Texas knew that the dangers we associate with Flash Flood Alley were indistinguishable from the manifold benefits floodwaters bore. They were just smarter about how to live within a river’s embrace. https://www.texasobserver.org/san-antonio-hill-country-floods-history-1921-2025/

Featured story: Extreme flooding events are nothing new to Texas. Neither are droughts. And the first does tend to follow the second here. In the parts of the Hill Country known as “Flash Flood Alley,” the changing climate can lead to particularly deadly scenarios. https://www.texasobserver.org/hill-country-flood-family-home-fourth-of-july-2002/

New today: We Texans keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. We are not going to change this narrative until we change our view of climate change and of living and developing in the floodplain.
Our climate is changing and our rainfall patterns—and drought patterns—are proving it repeatedly. https://www.texasobserver.org/flooding-houston-hill-country-planning/

The deadly #TexasFloods have receded, leaving lost and shattered lives. Trump tells us not to politicize the moment, with spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt calling the floods “an act of God,” meaning no one is responsible.
But because the floods and the #ClimateDisaster that will follow them make the costs very visible, they give us the chance to talk about root causes and the choices we face. If we don’t have these conversations, these teachable moments will quickly fade.

"So when people say “Don’t make it political,” I can’t help but think: What could be more #political than the systems meant to keep us safe *failing* every single time? What element of a #government refusing to take action is not political?"
