#NativeAmericaCalling: What the #Texas #FlashFloods teach us about #EmergencyPreparedness
Monday, July 14, 2025
"Earlier this year, after numerous warnings by inspectors, a levee in Oregon gave way, damaging more than 950 homes, including those of the #BurnsPaiute Tribe. And on the #NavajoNation, notification was key to helping hundreds of residents evacuate as the #OakRidgeFire consumed more than 11,000 acres.
"Tune into Native America Calling to hear about those and emergency plans by some other tribes aimed at keeping threats from becoming human tragedies."

Flood-weary #Texas finally drying out, but near 100-degree heat looms
Story by Courtney Travis
July 14, 2025"An unrelenting wet pattern in central Texas, with nearly-stationary tropical downpours, is likely to come to an end soon. However, residents and crews could be instead faced with a bout of heat.
"The Texas Hill Country has been the center of #CatastrophicFlooding in recent weeks, with drenching rainfall triggering flash and river flooding. Even after the deadly flooding from July 4, more flooding warnings prompted evacuations Sunday, July 13, with river rises again expected.
"Drenching rain and #FlashFlooding risks are forecast to continue through Monday night. Several inches of rain could fall in central Texas during this time, prompting flash flood watches from the National Weather Service.
"A change in the weather pattern looks to finally bring some relief to the Texas Hill Country.
" 'An area of high pressure that has been centered over the Gulf is forecast to slowly move westward this week. Doing so, the tropical moisture that has been streaming into central Texas will shift away from the region, bringing drier conditions to the center of the state,' said AccuWeather Meteorologist Alex Duffus.
"A final push of rain and thunderstorms is expected across the Hill Country of central Texas, especially the northern and western portions of the area, on Tuesday afternoon before it dries out during the middle of the week.
"Drier weather settling into central Texas on Wednesday is likely to stick around through the end of the week to bring several days of mostly rain-free weather for rescue and recovery efforts.
"During this time, portions of West Texas and #NewMexico instead will be more likely to get repeated thunderstorms, especially in the afternoons and evenings. This includes #RuidosoNewMexico, which was hit with heavy rain and dangerous flash flooding last week.
"The drier conditions moving into central Texas comes at a cost; with more sunshine, high temperatures are likely to rise for the second half of the week.
"While temperatures on Wednesday in cities such as Austin and San Antonio are expected to sail into the upper 90s for the first time this month, temperatures will climb into the lower 90s across the Texas Hill Country. Considering the humidity and strong, summer sunshine, AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures are likely to near 100 F in the hardest hit flood zones and could reach 110 F in eastern Texas."

This is what a culture under Fascism is like, "fuck you all, I got mine"
And then loads of kids die but who cares, right? /s

"If we ignore the problem, it will go away"

Just don't go to Texas, they'd watch you drown and never help you.
Pathetic state, disgusting people lording it over the rest of them in tyranny.
This is what Fascism looks like. It doesn't give a fuck about human life. -

From 2017: As Catastrophic #Flooding Hits Houston, Fears Grow of #Pollution from #OilRefineries & #Superfund Sites
#DemocracyNow, August 28, 2017
"A catastrophic storm has hit Houston, the nation’s fourth-largest city and home to the largest refining and #petrochemical complex in the United States. The crisis began on Friday when Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Rockport, Texas. It was the most powerful hurricane to strike the state in more than 50 years. Much of the damage has been caused by the massive rainfall, with parts of Texas already receiving 30 inches of rain. That could top 50 inches in the coming days. Entire highways in Houston are now underwater. The storm has caused five reported deaths, but the death toll is expected to rise. Thousands of people are still stranded in their homes, waiting to be rescued. Meanwhile, the city of Dallas prepares to turn its convention center into a mega-shelter to host 5,000 evacuees. The National Weather Service released a statement on Sunday saying, 'This event is unprecedented and all impacts are unknown and beyond anything experienced.' We speak with Bryan Parras, an organizer for the #BeyondDirtyFuels campaign with the #SierraClub in Houston, Texas. He helped found the #EnvironmentalJustice group t.e.j.a.s."

Presumably from Texas this means they're just going to give up now and let 'god' or something find those bodies, right?
I mean they don't actually care, do they? The people that run that place, they don't care about human life at all. And they're proud of it.None of the missing are rich white men so why give a fuck Texas?

Former federal officials and outside experts have warned for months that President Donald Trump’s deep staffing cuts to the National Weather Service could endanger lives. Was the NWS office responsible for Texas Hill Country adequately staffed for the recent deadly flooding? And could layoffs imperil future forecasts? Read more on the debate from @AssociatedPress:

TS Chantal made landfall near Myrtle Beach and is now a flooding threat for North Carolina. Also, after yesterday’s post on Texas flooding, we wanted to raise a couple additional points after some reactions.

Here’s what happened meteorologically to cause the horrific flooding in Central Texas. Also: say hello to TS Chantal, taking aim at the Carolinas.
