Flooding in Texas.

[DH1875]

43 deaths including 15 children which is terrible in itself but reading that the Guadalupe river rose 26FT in just 45 Minutes and has wiped out a girls summer camp and there are reports that up to 30 girls are missing. Thoughts and prayers to all their families and hopefully some of them at least are found alive.

That's horrendous, surely there must have been some sort of weather warning? Just think of all these yellow alerts etc we get over here.

Can't help but feel for everyone involved

Think Musk sacked all those guys at the weather agency.
Also, apparently Texas puts out emergency alerts all the time when police are involved in any kind of drama so a lot of Texans have disabled the alerts on their phone as they were sick of them.

Just so tragic

Coincidentally day after tomorrow was on ch4 last night. Extreme weather taking place within days/hours. A film that was shot over 20 years ago yet we don’t seem to be heeding the warnings

There’s a vocal rump of people who don’t believe climate change and global warming is a thing. Including the President of the US.

Fully expecting stuff to come out in the next few days or weeks about how DOGE/Trump massacred these departments, followed swiftly by Trump somehow blaming Biden.

If I was to be the one whistleblowing on and DOGE / Trump massacring of those departments, I'd definitely be making sure that all my immigration papers were in order first.

As a hydrologist, I can’t get my head around the extreme nature of the flood event. 26ft in 45 minutes is incredible.

I read that the most acutely affected area had 5 inches of rain in an hour. Equivalent to four months of rainfall.

But it's very important that these cuts were made so Trump could allow tax cuts for billionaires.

Happened in 2015 in Wimberley which is also in the Hill Country where there were homes washed away and loss of life. We visited in 2005 and kayaked the Blanco river. Lots of houses and camps based around the river and I imagine the Guadalupe is exactly the same.

No doubt there will be prayers offered by the those in government when it's warning systems that are required.

Hopefully no billionaires were injured/killed as a result
