The storm could have tracked a few miles away and  the river could not have flooded. 

Not like this but here are a few instances just in my neighborhood.  A few months ago, I  am coming from the supermarket about 2 miles away. It was raining so hard, the wipers were of almost no use. I was going to pul of the main road into my street and pull over.  The instant I turned onto  my street,thee rain stopped and the pavement was dry. I don't mean damp, I mean bone dry. Ran into my house from the drive so I didn't get soaked. Didn't rain at my houseuntil about 8 hours later.

In the blizzard of 2014 we got 7 feet.  The town hall under 1 ½ mile away got less than 6 inches.

Storm cells are weird like that. 
 

The whole mission of COCORAHS is to track rainfall at a hyper local level. It’s quite common for an inch to fall a couple blocks from my house while we got very little.

While my grammar was incorrect, it is awesome that your reply is not proper grammatically either.

Yeah, we know.

 

 


Sounds like we need more funding to provide research into better forecasting then. 
 

 

There is literally zero argument to cut NWS funding.

Sirens aren't for rain, but instead hail, winds, tornados, etc.

They’re for floodwaters rising.

The correct response is to gut even more government funding, right @JDHillFan?



Well they had money on the front lines……

 

But DEI:

 

 


 

Meet Austin Fire Chief Joel Baker, Austin's first black Fire Chief who has been working to hire more black and LGBTQ firefighters, and who is now facing a vote of no confidence by his union for denying the pre-deploying of resources to Kerrville citing "budget concerns."

 

The only problem? The Austin Fire Department is FULLY reimbursed by the state of Texas for such deployments(!!) .

Here's the Austin Firefighters Association ripping Baker's decision:

 

"Why would Fire Chief Joel G. Baker do this, you may ask? It was a misguided attempt to save money. I say 'misguided' because the fire department is fully reimbursed by the state to deploy. I explained the reimbursement process to Chief Baker last week, and he failed to understand this very simple concept."

 

Austin hired a DEI Fire Chief who could have saved an untold number of lives, but he was unable to comprehend the simple concept of reimbursement.

 

DEI likely killed those little girls.
