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

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.

   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.
