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

FWIW, I agree with you @Cyber Liberty
Locals and campers were blindsided by the sudden surge of 20-26 feet on the Guadalupe Rivernot how it works.
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 ...)
It's also dumping on Limestone rock laid millions of years ago, no soil, so its a runoff to the nearest River Basin.All true. I grew up camping the Guadalupe River, a fabulous place but certainly required respect.
Most people that live in this area know it and respect it.
I think that's correct. I just think the Clintons were worse, but like I say, that's debatable.
