We’re safe here in San Antonio but been watching the local news coverage since it started yesterday. The tone of Abbott’s press conference last night was almost like “brace yourselves for tomorrows news” it feels like the death toll is going to be going up considerably. I watch the same newscasts that go out to Kerrville, no one saw anything like this coming. It just sat over that area like TS Allison
Not sure wtf the Lakers are doing there. You’d think the Spurs especially with Wemby being so tall. In all seriousness, I hope they find some of those people alive.
Everyone saw it coming who knew what to look for. It was pissing rain upstream for hours before anything hit that area of the Guad.
I remember when the forums biggest moron @Space Ghost said who cared if we defund the weather services
This dynamic is notoriously difficult to predict and there is nothing but more uncertainty and extreme events that outstrip our experience on the way. In light of this, it seems absurd we have apparently made a choice to get rid of the scientific research that might bring better forecasting tools. Also, under the currently degraded FEMA, this will be a tougher than it should be recovery. Under the nearly defunct FEMA planned for next year, this would be a state-only recovery and rebuild operation—but I’m sure nothing bad will happen in 2026.
true story. Last night I went out to the city’s 4th of July fireworks celebration. I noticed it was a bit space than previous years. Apparent a microcell moved in earlier and lighting struck the firework display and blew it up. All I could thing about is @astros123 dire prediction how we will not be able to predict the weather. can someone just think about the fireworks? Who is going to protect the fireworks from the lightning if we don’t have weather.com??
I really don’t need politicians patting each other on the back and telling us what a great job they are doing at a time like this. Just give us the details on the recovery effort.
