@DeanObeidallah makes a pretty compelling case here, but I still haven't seen a direct connection proven between staff and funding cuts at #NWS and #NOAA and any specific forecasting failures in the #TexasFlood

@_L1vY_ Yeah. It's possible that cuts had an impact, but if you're calling to prosecute ppl as Dean O. did, you need to prove it, and he doesn't. Still, over the long term, he's clearly right. But we shouldn't do like Trump and jump to politically useful conclusions without actual facts.

@_L1vY_ the camp didn't allow phones, and the worst was during the night. There's also mention that the county has been trying to get an early warning system, but doesn't yet have one active.
The camp was a sitting duck.
