Well, we saw another example of why we needn’t rush to fill the information vacuum the moment a shooting is reported.

I just figured lefties hate first responders, so it made sense as a motive.

from where I sit the massive college protests waiving the Palestinian flag have more in common with nazis than the MAGA flag waivers
This leftist is fucking dumb, but losing the ability to be polite is absolutely a bipartisan endeavor.
Absolutely disgusting. Those spinning the NOAA thread are also lobbing political softballs because a reduction in funding/staffing for NOAA isn’t like flipping a light switch. So in addition to the moral rot, they’re not even doing their own bit effectively.

Oh, it wasn’t budget cuts? Sometimes weather is unpredictable? *feigns shock* Fucking idiots.
If I were to be a lefty shill, I’d at least go with something more interesting like the Catholics were right all along and a flood is coming because of how we’re treating migrants.

As a forecaster for the NWS... budget cuts had absolutely zero to do with this tragedy. The office in question was nearly fully staffed and extra balloon launches would not have helped. Trust me, I'm against the cuts and they have created all sorts of problems... but this was not one of those problems. If we are blaming people, we should blame local officials. A Flash Flood Watch was issued 13 hours in advance and a Flash Flood Warning highlighting a potential life threatening situation (that automatically went off on everyone's phones) was issued 3 hours before. The camp should have been evacuated but local officials ignored the warning and then tried to throw the NWS under the bus. Thankfully they are getting push back for their incompetence.

Yeah. It seems there was a 3-4 hour gap between when the NWS issued the Warning and when local officials followed up. The attempts by some of these local officials to shift the blame to the NWS are contemptible.
The deza by social media influencers is par for the course. The blame shifting by local officials is something that does merit pushback.
