Reminder that some people think all this weather science and the programs that use it are a waste of money, as well as any money used to help those who lose everything in such events. Yeah, that's crazy to even contemplate in the second quarter of the 21st century, but here we are.

Ted Cruz frantically trying to book a flight to anywhere outside of the states.

As someone from San Antonio, hearing that over 30 children 7 and up got washed away and likely died in a flash flood is heartbreaking.

There are lots of people who are liberal as fuck who live in Texas. We have to deal with gerrymandered districts and a shit ton of rural people who have more voting powers than us.

FEMA money coming in 3....2....oh wait....

Sorry FEMA can't help you

This is good Christian Texas, they all believe in arks so I'm sure that each, individually, with personal funds, and by the sweat of their own brows, have built themselves private arks. They'll be fine.

If only we could've predicted this. Oh well

Well, if the state wasn't bought by the fossil fuel industry this wouldn't be happening on this scale, would it? How's the lone star state feeling now? Punished by plague (Measles), Floods, and instead of locusts they have the massive proliferation of ticks and the spreading of them far outside the state. Life imitating Art.

The amount of assholery in this thread is hilarious.

Build a wall around the water.

Ask some private businesses to save you. "Sure, it'll be $1000/hr to extract your family (max 3 people). $500/dog. If you join our platinum rescue service we'll grab your tv and provide snacks."

They can pick themselves up by their bootstraps. Small government and all that.

Thoughts and prayers. It stopped gun violence in schools right?

The negativity here really goes to show that even much of the left isn’t class conscious yet.
