That was faster than expected.

Unfortunately, being Texas I don't know if they are suing to restore the NWS or use this as an excuse to get rid of it altogether since the article doesn't clarify their desired outcome.

Don’t fall for it. While the NWS is definitely being gutted, there was nothing wrong with their reporting. They issued proper preliminary reports and warnings leading up to the tragic event. This wasn’t an issue of not being forewarned, it was an issue of a river rising over twenty feet in a rapid timeframe. These officials are once again denigrating scientists, and not once did they mention increasing funding for these services.

The forecast was good. Don't spread misinformation and let Texas officials off the hook for not evacuating the area.

Ooo that tricksy Biden and his DNC weather machine are at it again!

But woke and DEI.

Honestly, one of the best independent news from Texas is the Texas Tribune, fully funded by it's readers and not owned by a billionaire. Been following them for a few years (don't even live in Texas, but it's good to know what their GOP is doing because their policies could always spread), and have found their reporting to be excellent. Please give them a try. Also fuck Cruz and Abbot and the GOP in general....

You get what you voted for you bunch of assholes.

Who CARES if Trump just KILLED a bunch of Kids in Texas in an EXTREMELY PREDICTABLE way! These are REPUBLICANS! When have REPUBLICANS EVER done Anything to Help Children?

Ohhhhh. Some harsh words Trump and his ilk don't care about. These Texas Republicans will just fall in line as usual. Just like the Republican senators did. Fuck Republicans.

Have the day you voted for, Texas.

Thoughts and prayers!

I took meteorology in college, the thing is I'm trained to read weather data that has been gathered from all the stations and radars and satellites. Without all that I can look out the window and tell you if its raining.

Best just completely eliminate the NWS then. As we all know, if you don’t forecast anything at all, then nothing bad is happening.
