Castro on TX Flood: Trump’s Cuts to National Weather Service ‘Should Be Investigated’

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) said that after the deadly flood of the Guadalupe River in central Texas, the Trump administration’s cuts to the National Weather Service should be investigated.

castro is evil.

He knows full well those cuts are not for weather forecasting but the climate change game that NWS has been playing since Obama

FWIW, I agree with you @Cyber Liberty

Strategically, Clinton was better for the GOP because the Dem overreach on gun control and Hillarycare led to a huge gain in the 1994 off-year Elections, breaking the Rat 40 year grip on the House.  Too bad Gingrich threw it away 6-7 months later when he caved to Clinton on spending.

Locals and campers were blindsided by the sudden surge of 20-26 feet on the Guadalupe River

We keep hearing this from Big Media over and over ... but, really? It was preceeded by freaking 10 inches of rain

And Kerr County, Texas only gets 30" of rain per year ... so shouldn't getting 1/3 of that compressed into a span of just 2 days be considered a warning to get out??

(not trying to be a jerk in the midst of this terrible tragedy, just pointing out that common sense still helps a lot with basic survival ...)
not how it works.

One can have clear blue skies but the rain 50 miles upriver causes huge downriver flooding.  Happens with little warning.

WTF Happened In 1971?

How History Works

Looking at historic economic data can sometimes be a bit… bleak…
Over the last 5 decades wages have been left behind by economic productivity, houses have gone from an essential good to a coveted investment, we are saving less money than ever before, prices for everyday goods have outpaced earnings, The financial industry has become the largest sector in the economy, debt around the world has spiked to unsustainable levels, and inequality has broken new records…
For the first time since the gilded age the top 0.1% in America controls more wealth than the bottom 90% COMBINED.
Elon Musk ALONE recently became the richest person in history, topping even the generous inflation adjusted estimates of John D Rockefeller in his prime… although to be fair John D’s prime lasted a lot longer than musks did…
ANYWAY… all of this data tells a concerning story of a world that is heading in a bad direction, a direction that we have seen end in catastrophe many times throughout history before.
But if you have keen eyes (or you just read the title of this video) you might have noticed that all of these alarming indicators all took a bad turn at around the same time…
Soo what happened in 1971…?

   It's also dumping on Limestone rock laid millions of years ago, no soil, so its a runoff to the nearest River Basin. 
   Most people that live in this area know it and respect it.
All true. I grew up camping the Guadalupe River, a fabulous place but certainly required respect.

Fortunately, my dad was a meteorologist at the US Weather Bureau in Austin, so knew behaviors of the weather patterns.

Once playing golf near there under blue skies we noticed the local creek was rising. Within minutes two foot rise with no rain.  We barely got off the course before the green was under water.

I think that's correct.  I just think the Clintons were worse, but like I say, that's debatable.
