Donald Trump is accused of having many weird things, but killing children with mountain floods has to be one of the worst. [emphasis, links added]
His critics’ first reflection was blaming him for killing more than 80 people in a shocking tragedy in central Texas, including two dozen children in Christian summer camps.
This is one of the deadliest floods in the United States in the past 100 years, and the loss of children is a special gut.
Naturally, observers will ask how it might have happened, but the factless malicious attacks constitute one of the stupidest plots of the Trump era, and that's a lot.
The theory here is that Elon Musk's chainsaw cuts the National Weather Service, leaving the agency with disastrous consequences. Look, Trump's opponent says, we tell you, your doe will kill people.
The National Weather Service did reduce staff, totaling about 10%. However, the idea that this suddenly makes the institution unusable is ridiculous. (By the way, Trump's budget proposal for the NWS funding has increased slightly.)
To align with standard practices, Texas weather services soared additional staff as storms gathered.
There is no doubt that the agency has done its job. On Sunday, it pointed out the potential for heavy rains next week. A few days later, it was talking about the possibility of flooding on Thursday, July 3. Then on Thursday morning, it sent out dangerous prospects, followed by flood surveillance in the afternoon.
As Thursday night progressed, its communication became increasingly shocking.
At 1:14 am on Friday, the 4th, it issued a warning warning “life-threatening streams and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underground passages”. It said “Flash flooding is underway or is expected to begin soon.” The warning triggered a wireless emergency alert.
At 4 a.m., it declared a flash flood emergency.
Private forecasting service Accuweather also issued a warning. Some say these notifications should provide “enough time” for evacuation.
what happened? According to one specification, the water of the Guadalupe River rises from 1 foot to 36 feet, almost incredible, created from the seemingly ubiquitous biblical proportions of disasters (and, “and, I, I, I, I, even I, do bring a lot of water on the earth that can destroy all the flesh and thus destroy the breath of life.”
The event takes place late at night, when consciousness will be restricted. People naturally experience warning fatigue, assuming the worst doesn’t actually happen or affect them.
Texas and local communities may do well to adopt a tornado-style alarm system to warn of imminent flooding.
Another criticism of the Trump administration is that it doesn’t care about climate change, and that catastrophic flooding (speakably as extreme rainfall becomes increasingly severe) is an inevitable result of global warming.
So let's discuss the floods in Texas.
Here are the facts of many democratic whistles that some traditional media choose to ignore:

However, flooding is nothing new in this area of Texas. The weather is bad, Chris Martz pointed out In 1838, 1869, 1906, 1921, 1932, 1936, 1952, 1952, 1978, 1987 and 1998, major floods occurred in the Guadalupe River.
This is the remnant of tropical storm Barry, fueling the time-washing rain, pouring 20 inches into the spots.
According to the National Weather Service forecasting center, the 20th rainfall in the state has caused 15 inches or more since 1913.
Martz noted that Texas has had no trend in its highest annual precipitation since 1895, and river frequency has also declined since 1965 in rural Texas Mountains.
Here are some facts about you.
Since 1895, there has been no statistically significant trend in Texas’ annual maximum precipitation (RX1DAY). The regression of the smallest square produces an R² value of 0.027, indicating that only 2.7% of the difference in RX1DAGE is explained by… https://t.co/gu/gu8zjjnajs. pic.twitter.com/kohixowgur

But for anti-Trump guerrillas and their media travelers, the narrative is irresistible.
Donald Trump is responsible for many things. The weather is not one of them.
