A Texas official said “there wasn’t a lot of time” to alert camps of the flood risk. But AccuWeather’s chief meteorologist said warnings gave “plenty of time to evacuate people to higher ground.”
“The question is, Why did that not happen?” he said.

Some Texas Officials Didn’t Respond to Flood Alerts, Echoing the Tragedies of Hurricane Helene
Weather warnings predicted devastation from both the Texas floods and Hurricane Helene. But in both disasters, people were left in harm’s way.

Project 2025 plans to break up and reduce the components of NOAA. But the services NOAA provides, every citizen uses every day.
I paid the price for speaking out about “Sharpiegate.” Scientists can’t be silent now, either.

I am really glad—truly—that more outlets are covering FEMA’s unacceptable response in Texas. But for my original reporting to receive ZERO acknowledgement (especially when I know many of these outlets originally declined to cover this story) is simply maddening. I would literally never do that.

“According to sources within FEMA, “barely any staff” have been deployed, and the Acting Administrator David Richardson “is nowhere to be found.” Per one source, “if this is how they are going to do a major hurricane response, people are fucked.”

Arguably if NYT wanted to get ahead they could have written that story, about Nazis trying to start a race controversy with hacked data. But as it turns out, they wanted to be the Nazis.
