Texas officials blame the NWS (national weather service) for UNDERESTIMATING Rainfall

«Like anyone can predict the weather what a joke ???? Texas is number one in cloud seeding and weather modification»

«Its Texas so it had to be God's will.»

«But but but, I thought we didnt need them???»

«Oh gee, who could have guessed that cutting NOAA would have bad results? »

«3"-6" of rain was predicted in areas, with a deluge possible depending on downpour time... the timeframe was announced, and they noted potential for flooding.
Basically, this guy just reenforced their position of not understanding a weather report - 6" of rain is HUGE if within a small period of time! There was zero they could have done as far as preparedness, so trying to shift blame is their next step.»

«Where did this dumb fuck come from? Like the weatherman ever gets the weather right. It's more acurate if you think the reverse of what the weatherman says. No rain. Get your hip waders on.»

«Jail time for false weather cast prediction !!! Drag that fucker to cross and make him pay the Yeshua price»

«Since when are weather men or women ever correct on the weather???»

«Trump defunded the NWS and NOAA. Fucking retarded fat fuck»

«Is it the city or state's fault for not funding flood warning initiatives. That would be socialist though. Oh wait , there's no profit in that. It's ok it's just some fundamentalist Christians, their parents are certainly woke and not MAGA people who voted for this.»

«News reports indicate that the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE), a new initiative, has caused significant job cuts within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which includes the National Weather Service (NWS).
While specific, exact numbers for NWS jobs alone are hard to pinpoint definitively, here's what has been reported:
* Overall NOAA Cuts: Newsweek reported in February 2025 that hundreds of staff at NOAA were fired. A congressional source told CBS News that the layoffs affected 880 NOAA employees, representing about 5% of the agency's staff.
* Impact on NWS: While "critical" National Weather Service meteorologists were largely spared initially, the cuts spread across NOAA's many branches, including the NWS. The Center for American Progress warned that "mass layoffs incited by the recently formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) threaten the fundamental work NOAA and NWS provide."
* Vacancy Rates: An Associated Press analysis in April 2025 found that nearly half of National Weather Service forecast offices have 20% vacancy rates, double what they were a decade ago, after the Trump administration's job cuts spearheaded by DOGE.
* Further Cuts: In March 2025, NOAA announced it was cutting another roughly 1,000 employees as part of the administration's reductions.
It's clear that DOGE has significantly impacted staffing at NOAA and, consequently, the National Weather Service, leading to concerns about the agency's ability to provide critical services and accurate forecasts.


The shit shows just getting started dummies LOL»

«No worries if there's bad weather or natural disasters, the states can always rely on FEMA's help to get shit back together

Uh oh....
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has made significant cuts to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), leading to widespread concern among disaster experts and former officials. Here's a summary of the reported cuts:
Staffing Reductions:
* Significant Workforce Loss: Reports indicate that approximately 2,000 full-time staff have left FEMA since the current administration took office in January, representing roughly one-third of the agency's full-time workforce.
* Voluntary Buyouts: A substantial portion of these departures were due to a voluntary buyout program, which critics worry has led to a "brain drain" of experienced staff and a loss of institutional knowledge.
* Impact on Preparedness: The staffing cuts have raised alarms about FEMA's ability to adequately prepare for and respond to the upcoming hurricane season and other disasters, with the acting FEMA administrator reportedly admitting the agency is not fully ready.
Program and Grant Cuts:
* Budget Proposal Cuts: The administration's 2026 budget proposal calls for a $646 million cut to FEMA, targeting grant programs.
* Termination of Key Programs:
* Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Program: This major grant program, designed to help communities prepare for natural disasters, has been fully terminated. All pending and future applications have been canceled, and undisbursed funds are being returned to the federal treasury.
* National Domestic Preparedness Consortium: This program, which provides specialized training and technical assistance to emergency responders, is slated for elimination.
* Targeting Violence and Terrorism Prevention Program: This program, which funds initiatives for preventing violence and terrorism, has also been targeted for elimination.
* Reduced and Delayed Grants:
* FEMA has rescinded or withdrawn several grant programs, including those for flood mitigation, leading to hundreds of millions in expected funds being clawed back or unavailable to state and local governments.
* New layers of review and approval for routine grant payments, introduced by DOGE's "Defend the Spend" initiative, are causing delays and adding burdensome reporting requirements for grantees.
* There are reports of fewer new funding opportunities (NOFOs) being posted, and existing NOFOs being pulled down to effectively terminate grant programs.
* Shift in Responsibility to States: The administration has repeatedly signaled an interest in shifting disaster relief responsibilities entirely to the states, with President Trump stating that his administration would begin phasing out FEMA after the current hurricane season ends in November.
These cuts and policy shifts have led to concerns that the federal government's capacity for disaster preparedness and response is being severely weakened, potentially leaving communities more vulnerable to natural disasters.»

«That's what happens when DOGE and stupid MAGA cut a lot of jobs there.»

«What the hell did they do and who did they blame 100 years ago when they didn't have the NWS? I'm sure it was probably the democrats back then too huh? For the love of God people, listen to yourselves!»

«Blame ya mama for pushing you out brainless.»

«Meanbean will blame Trump for the rain in 3-2-1- »

«Trump cut all the funding , and Texas will not get a dime of federal relief dollars»

«Fuck 'em. Drown like rats. »

«They're not blaming, they are saying they were caught off-guard.»

«Oh good I'm glad someone had the guts to stand up to Trump and post this. We only had the entire mainstream media, every cable channel, every celebrity telling us he was a bad guy. We needed confirmation that the same people who hate you for being white also hate him for being orange»

«All things considered—with Trump cutting more necessary finances to
government instrumentalities—such as weather forecasting bureaux,
this sort of thing is inevitable. Which means, in effect, that Trump *can*
be fairly blamed for the end-result of this fatal weather disaster.»

« Hahahaha. So riddled with TDS it forced him leave the comfort of his little Bluecry circle jerk group. »

«You just had a tropical depression in the gulf that went into the heart of Texas and pulled even more moisture into that area.»

«I moved to Cuero, Texas back in '87 or '88. They had just had a flood on the same Guadalupe River that killed a bunch of kids from a church camp that were riding in a bus plus many others. I'll never forget kids being retrieved from treetops by helicopters because the water was so high. I rented a house on the Guadalupe River and it was about 300 yards from the shore. The water had been high enough there that it floated the propane tank and flipped it over. If it had come any further, it would have flooded the house. I just don't understand how this could happen again and why they didn't get those kids evacuated.»
