As this horrible flash flood tragedy on the Guadelupe River in Central Texas plays out, hard not to see how federal budget cuts to the weather service and emergency services may have played a role.
Not to mention that Kerr county has no warning system!?! Texas spends billions on "border security," maybe some investment elsewhere is warranted.
How agonizing for the entire area impacted, especially the parents of the 2 dozen girl campers still missing. I'm astonished how that could happen, as someone who spent decades with youth camping organizations. I pray the girls are safe somehow awaiting rescue, but it seems unlikely at this late stage.
