It’s called #FlashFloodAlley
Put a children’s camp in the middle of it
#TexasStupid can’t be fixed

A deadly 1987 flood foreshadowed the Texas disaster. Survivors ask, ‘why didn’t we learn?’ The Fourth of July tragedy was described as something no one could have seen coming. But in ‘flash flood alley’, an eerily similar event 40 years ago holds important lessons

Some coverage in The Guardian: "USGS calculates that the Guadalupe River has experienced noteworthy flash floods almost every decade since the 1930s. In 1998, it recorded a flood that surpassed even 500-year flood projections."

#FlashFloodAlley

Which part of Texas gets the most flash floods?
Hill Country
Flash flooding is a recurring threat in this part of Texas. The Hill Country, including Kerr County where the camp is located, has thin soil and limestone bedrock that limits rain from soaking into the ground.

You can still sign it after over 100 people, including many children […]

Why do Texans keep voting against their best interests? Because Ted Cruz serves the extremely wealthy only. The rest are largely voter-suppressed. How wealthy is he? #FlashfloodAlley

#FlashFloodAlley - the perfect location for a children’s camp on a riverbank

We should perhaps seek representatives who want to favor life. Ours have been all about death.

"When the System Drowns Its People" Texas sat on $30 billion. DOGE gutted lifesaving systems. The warnings came, but help never did. And now, over 100 are dead with 160 still missing. Disgraceful!

For fuck sake…Texas is sitting with a $30 Billion Dollar rainy day fund The deaths in #FlashFloodAlley need not have happened. Check out my current @SubstackInc post: “When The System Drowns Its People”. therealmichaelcohen.substack.com/p/when-the-s...

Hans Rauscher | DERSTANDARD Der Guadalupe River stieg innerhalb kürzester Zeit um fast acht Meter an. Die heftigen Überschwemmungen überraschten viele. GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA/JIM V Eine Tragödie, die so furchtbar ist, dass sie auch aus der Ferne kaum zu ertragen ist: Da schicken hunderte amerikanische Eltern ihre zehn- bis zwölfjährigen Kinder, konkret ihre Töchter, in ein Sommercamp an einem texanischen Fluss – und dann kommt eine Sturzflut.

Just remember that it was the same Texas government officials that allowed all those children to die in the #UvaldeMassacre that didn’t want to spend the money on a proper alert system for the #flashfloodalley.

🌧️ Closing Thought

Floods don’t have to be fatal.
But if we continue to ignore the equation, they will be.
Over and over.
In the same watersheds.
New names carved on new memorials.

Climate change fuels deadly deluges, and forecasting cuts hinder warnings. Whether you “believe” in climate change or not it is f*cking happening.
