Texas Kerr County Was DENIED Money From FEMA to Boost EARLY STORM Warning Systems in 2016/2017
Kerr County Commissioners Court Applied For Nearly $1MIL FEMA Grant in 2016/2017 For 'FLASH FLOOD ALLEY', One of MANY Requests, After Trump became President Ted Cruz ENSURED Trump Spending Bill Slashed Weather Forecasting Funding REUTERS 8 JUL 2025 Trump Hasnt Visited Texas Flooding Flash Flood Camp Mystic FEMA Money Went To Alligator Alcatraz Trump slammed for hiding on golf course as Texas flood death toll rises ![]() The warning system to include sirens was not expensive, the units would cost around $40,000 each. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nearly a decade before catastrophic flooding in south Texas killed at least 104 people, including 27 girls and counselors from a beloved summer camp, the states Division of Emergency Management denied requests from the county where the camp is held for a $1 million grant to improve its flood warning system. Summer camps were top of mind during county leaders discussions of the project, meeting minutes show. Then County Commissioner Tom Moser envisioned designating point people at each camp who would monitor a website and alert camp counsellors and attendees if evacuation was needed. In June 2016, President Barack Obama declared a major disaster in Texas after torrential rains killed 20 people and destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses in the states southeast corner. It unlocked more than $100 million in money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA to both clean up the damage and help communities across the state prepare for the next disaster. Kerr County, part of a region whose rivers? and creeks high flooding potential earned it the nickname Flash Flood Alley, was among the communities that sought preventative funding. It asked MANY TIMES for $1 million to build a flood warning system that would have upgraded 20 water gauge systems, added new water level sensors and posts, and created software and a website to distribute that information to the public in real time. We've been trying to get a new Flood Warning System here for YEARS, Thomas, the countys emergency management coordinator, said at the November 2020 meeting. We just havent been able to do it Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice said staff at some of the summer camps on the Guadalupe were monitoring the rising river at 3:30 a.m. on the day of the flood and managed to move campers to higher ground. Asked by reporters why mandatory evacuations were not issued by the city or county, Rice said, Evacuations are a delicate balance because if you evacuate too late, you then risk putting buses, or cars, or vehicles, or campers on roads trying to get them out, which can make it more challenging because these flash floods happen very quickly. ![]() When pressed on why evacuations were not announced far in advance of the storm, Rice added ![]() Its like disasters in Texas everywhere its very tough to make those calls because what we also dont want to do is cry wolf. This is What Led to The FLASH FLOOD Emergency The Weather Patterns Extraordinary rainfall rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour in some areas such as Kerr County and Mason County equated to up to 18 inches in some spots, according to measurements from the National Weather Service That volume of water falling over relatively short periods of time thats a disaster waiting to happen, -Marshall Shepherd, director of the Atmospheric Sciences Program at the University of Georgia and former president of the American Meteorological Society ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Search teams continue searching for flood victims near Camp Mystic, in the aftermath of deadly flooding in Kerr County, Texas Why Hasnt Trump Formally Acknowledged WHY This Texas Flood Tragedy Really Happened Instead of Blaming Biden Reduced FEMA funding by DOGE could jeopardize flood warning systems, says fmr. administrator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Keua2NBiDuE While Neighbouring Counties Implemented Flood Sirens, Republican Kerr County Chose NOT to Install Them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-psaLtkeHCY MORE: Ted Cruz ENSURED Trump Spending Bill Slashed Weather Forecasting Funding, Then Went on Vacation ![]() Senator on vacation abroad while Texas was hit by deadly floods, a disaster worsened by forecasting cuts The Texas senator ensured the Republican spending bill slashed funding for weather forecasting, only to then go on vacation to Greece while his state was hit by deadly flooding, a disaster critics say was worsened by cuts to forecasting. Cruz, who infamously fled Texas for Cancun when a crippling winter storm ravaged his state in 2021, was seen visiting the Parthenon in Athens with his wife Heidi on Saturday, a day after a flash flood along the Guadalupe River in central Texas killed more than 104 people, including dozens of children and counsellors at a camp. The Greece trip ended in time for Cruz to appear at the site of the disaster on Monday morning to decry the tragedy and promise a response from lawmakers. |

Ludicrous- Dolly Bird Kristi Noems 3 DAY Delay of Texas Flood Rescue
Noems Cost Controls & Her Time on Instagram Updatng Her PROFILE DELAYED FEMAs Texas Flood Response Disturbing - SADISTIC Trump Moves to CLOSE Key Weather Labs Despite Tragic Texas Flood REUTERS 11 JUL 2025 ![]() WHAT is this Dolly Bird doing in such a responsable position? - FALSE Hair FALSE Eyelashes FALSE Nails Kristi Noem has NO idea what she''s doing- Noem issued a directive requiring all contracts and grants over $100,000 to receive HER personal sign off for approval. According to a new report Secretary Noem did not sign off on deploying FEMAs urban search and rescue team to Texas until this Monday more than three days after the floods struck. In the meantime, she was on Instagram crowd sourcing opinions about her official portrait After flash floods devastated central Texas in July 2025, a rumour spread that U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, whose agency oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency, failed to authorize deployment of FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours. Trump Wants to Shut It DOWN ![]() ![]() Trump is looking to make sweeping cuts at the nations weather agencies, including the closure of all federally funded meteorology labs, such as the National Severe Storms Laboratory. They're facilities that experts credit for research that has saved countless lives. The deadly flooding in Texas over the Fourth of July weekend underscored just how crucial it is to have adequate warning systems in place to anticipate natural disasters. These facilities also support local economies. According to the University of Oklahoma, the federal lab in Norman helps sustain more than 900 jobs in the region. The National Severe Storms Laboratory sits on a campus of radar equipment and office buildings at the University of Oklahoma, off State Highway 9 in Norman. Its responsible for radar breakthroughs in forecasting that the nation relies on for storm warnings and emergency preparedness. But Trump wants to shut it down, prompting a rare rebuke from a prominent Republican member of Congress. I want to make sure that whoevers proposing this actually goes down there and looks at it and meets them, said Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole, chair of the Appropriations Committee. Ive allowed things in my district to be closed before, but this is a national asset, and I want to be very careful about what we do with it. This would also affect the recent devastating floods in New Mexico https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0IT4UksSUo Devastating New Mexico Floods https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9nI_RDALAg |
