Should be fun when no one can predict the incoming storms since the turnip gutted NOAA. I wonder if the trumpets will complain or even notice.

Luckily the NWS offices in Paducah and Nashville have been crushing it because we're in day 3 of severe weather.
Shout out to Paducah, who had to stop updating warnings and stuff on Thursday because they were in shelter while a tornado went over their office!
Good luck getting help from FEMA.
Does that even exist in this DOGE era we've been blessed with?
Zero help for you good luck.
Waterlogged Midwest? Looks at all our dry creeks and river... News to me.
Good. Fuckem. The south deserves to drown. Lincoln should've burned everything south of the line to ash.
I agree that the Reformation was a mistake, but this is a little tasteless under an article talking about a drowned child.
A child that never would have suffered if Lincoln did what he needed to do.
a lot of it is not the fault of weather but poor infrastructure without proper road drainages for water
water table in the US is low in most places and megacorps drain water resources astronomically
In this particular case you are wrong. It is the weather. It has been raining hard for three days straight in some of these places. It is climate change and the weather. Infrastructure is definitely an issue but not the reason.
obviously climate change and weather play a ginormous part in all this but if there were proper drainages shit like kids washing out due to floods would at least be minimized
I don't think that your reasoning fully grasps how flash floods work. Even with "proper drainage" situations can materialize in the millions of differing landscapes. With ground saturation at 100% and creeks and river systems at max capacity, the water has no where else to go in many places, like flood plains, watersheds, dips in the road, etc. We can and should learn from this horrific tragedy, but a few more drainage ponds is the equivalent of Trump's "just rake the woods" comment.
