Texas flooding terrible, tragic

Recommended Posts

The normally lazy Guadalupe River has gone nuts, sweeping away at least 20 girls from a church camp. At least 40 people are missing. Four girls from one school in Beaumont are missing. Vehicles and homes are floating down the river.

It appears so...Patrick says there was but Kelly says they don't have a warning system in place (both could be true).

A flood watch had been upgraded to a warning overnight on Friday for at least 30,000 people, the Associated Press reports.

Texas Lt-Gov Dan Patrick said the potential for heavy rain and flooding covered a large area.

“Everything was done to give them a heads up that you could have heavy rain, and we’re not exactly sure where it’s going to land,” Patrick said.

“Obviously as it got dark last night, we got into the wee morning of the hours, that’s when the storm started to zero in.”

Kerr county judge Rob Kelly, the county’s chief elected official, said: “We do not have a warning system.”

When pushed on why more precautions weren’t taken, Kelly said no one knew this kind of flood was coming.

Not much of one. The topography is pretty much rock, so there is little to no absorption, so the only place for water to go is into the river, which rose up insanely fast. There was almost zero time to evacuate anyone. I saw one video of a guy telling a woman to get the hell out of her house now, and she said, "I hear people screaming." To which he replied, "Those are people who got swept into the river."

One of the dead little girls they recovered is from near here.  I think the mom's family may have been from that area.  I can't even imagine what they and the parents of those missing currently are going through.

Not only are you garbage for making this political you're wrong too.   There were watches and warnings posted hours in advance according to several weather outlets.  I'll take their word over Roshan Rinaldi.   What's your justification for posting this garbage?  You going to high five yourself tonight that you thought you got a zinger in over the death of a bunch of young girls?

Posting the latest news update on the number of fatalities is out of line in a thread about the Texas flooding tragedy? 

WTF is wrong with you.

It was taking the time to blame it on a Trump policy that's not even in effect yet. Trying to score political points using the death of a bunch of girls.  WTF is wrong with you.

I just posted what the Texas officials said in a press conference where they blamed the NWS. They were the ones trying to score political points out of this, I just posted a video to their press conference. Here it is again.

I have never reported anyone and I never will. But I have seen and been suspended for a lot less than Squishy. He’s just an awful person.

YOU picked that Twitter wannabe out of millions. YOU did.  

YOU chose to believe the BS they were selling.  

YOU didn't even listen to the video, or if you did you're too stupid to understand the Twitter wannabe is playing political gotchas. They simply said the forcast was wrong. Duh!

Or YOU'RE pushing along your little political gotcha.  

We all know you're a Life Loser 70 year old virgin that works in fast food - but for God's sake try and take an ounce of responsibility for yourself for a change.   Loser.

I helped during the 1st Gulf War.  Did you?  If not, I suggest you gas that truck back up and head your smug a$$ on down there.  Or do you only help black people?

Props to the Texas governor, Trump and various state and local officials for their response to this disaster. 

No finger pointing here. This has been like nothing this state has ever seen.

Yeah man totally agree.  Some things should be above the political trolling and shots.  Squistion should be embarrassed he used the death of young girls here.
