I live in Austin, near where this catastrophic flooding occurred.

The documentary "Flash Flood Alley" provides an important reality check for those pushing the climate narrative by revealing the unique geography of this area, which makes it the most flash flood prone region in North America, if not the entire planet:

The following 2 videos illustrate just how rapidly the water rose (30 feet in one hour), which explains in large part why so many people located along the rivers were caught off-guard. This rising water occurred during the night, when almost everyone was asleep, in the areas where the majority of the July 4th holiday campers were located:

For those who are interested, here is a sampling of videos from several floods several years ago. TBH, when these flood occur, it is not uncommon to see houses floating down the rivers:

I hasten to add, this does not in any way minimize the horrific dangers of these floods. It's just that Mother Nature has been producing these floods here for centuries, and all the resulting death and destruction is sadly the tragic consequence of living too close to the rivers in this flood prone geographic region.

I agree on the minimization part for sure... but the more honest we are, the more lives will be saved in the future.

Pray for the children and their families. I have lived in the Texas Hill Country and have seen flash flooding many times. The depositional environment along our riverbanks is a clear indicator as to where flash flooding has occurred in the past and will occur again in the future. This is an area where government CAN play a useful role in permitting or not permitting development. Golf courses are great in flood plains; habitable structures are not a good idea.

One fact that is not being reported responsibly by media, is that the flooding occurred in many of the most impacted areas right before 4 a.m. The New York Times noted a “particularly dangerous situation” warning at 4 a.m. for Kerr County, identifying Kerrville, Hunt, and Center Point as areas of concern. But for most readers that is vague enough not to understand the issue of floodwaters entering cabins at 4 a.m. and not to realize that there was likely no power, and total darkness making evacuation very difficult for many. There were widespread power outages and at least one substation flooded. The timing of this flood has more to do with the fatalities than either the warning systems, or climate change. Measuring natural disasters in terms of lives lost always misses the point that past events went largely unnoticed because no one was there. I can only pray for the families and those still missing.

Very sad. Prayers with the victims and their families. All of my children, and more recently, their children have enjoyed the hill county summer camps. The floor Waters swept in the late night. This weather event was not excepcional, but the losses are.

Former Washington state governor Jay Inslee (aka “Dimslee”) doesn’t seem able to recall a few years back when his vaunted wind and solar failed miserably in Texas during a different type of storm: extreme winter cold. The death toll from that debacle was over four times higher as both wind and solar failed to produce. Washington was one of the first states to use the fraud of human-caused climate change to extract wealth for its citizens. They have since continued to squeeze, with all climate taxes seeing regular hikes.

Creatures like Insley who are part of the Globalist movement which has as a main objective "Depopulation". They never live up to what they propose for the serfs. Private jets, living in mansions and vast estates with plenty of servants. The want you to believe they can control the weather. Consider how they handled Covid. A US Government funded/Chicom bioweapon that killed hundreds of thousands in the USA alone. They kept kids out of school destroying their education. Forced people to take the poison and many became injured. The same Government paid Left Wing media one billion to spread safe and effective. Was that a success? These are the people telling us Climate Change is a threat. Remember according to Al Gore and his fuzzy face friend Move Own told us that NYC would be under water decades ago. Seems like they failed to tell the newly arrived immigrants that.

Indeed….. if Covid didn’t open your eyes to the #ClimateScam than there is no hope for you. I’m glad Covid happened ( & the Mass Graves Indiigenous scandal in Canada ) as I was a sheep who blindly followed MSM.

Every natural disaster is terrible and a tragedy when it claims lives. According to my analyses and observations, the withdrawal of energy from the climate system as a result of wind power use is a major factor in heavy rainfall events on the one hand and droughts on the other.

Wind systems must always be viewed as circulating systems. Wind turbines slow down the wind by converting kinetic energy (flow energy) into electrical energy. Wind is not just flowing air; it also transports enormous amounts of water vapor. If you consider its transport with the wind, you come closer to the issue described above.

Yes we’ve had historical weather events and some of been large enough to extinguish life on the planet on a grand scale. We might have some planetary and solar cycles going in contributing since the poles are shifting and the magnetic field shielding our planet is weakening. But we also have climate control “experiments” and use and weaponization of such going on as well. Patents for the machines and procedures exist. The websites detailing the abilities. The machines themselves can be seen being used. You can bury your head in the sand regarding deliberate monkeying with our weather but it’s still being done. Not climate warming which is a natural cycle phenomenon. But deliberate, man-made interference. I an sitting on my deck n what was a beautiful, sunny morning after a nice soaking rain in our NW forest. The chemtrails are dispersing and spreading and our skies are slowly being covered over in what will become a flat, unnatural cloud cover that, if heated from either a machine or the sun from above will create that lensing effect that will WARM us up under the cloud cover vs allowing us to enjoy a cooler, sunny morning that was making my bees dance in joy. I’m not happy. I believe this TX weather system was done deliberately and we DO need to look at that and we DO need to raise a cry to every government being who thinks such tinkering is fun to do and pays their godforsaken bills. The deaths are horrific and made even more horrific if we ever get proof that they were murdered.

Climate scientist discusses impacts of NWS, NOAA staffing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6XS0iDzXPM

Jul 6, 2025 #CNN #News

The forces that descended upon the Guadalupe River in Texas’ Hill Country on Thursday night were a worst-case scenario. Four months’ worth of rain fell in just hours as water-laden thunderstorms stalled in place, giving rise to a wall of water that surged down the river in the blackness of night, limiting the number of people who could get the warnings and move to higher ground. The National Weather Service warned of “life-threatening flooding” along the river in a series of alerts in the early morning hours. But questions remain about how many people they reached, whether critical vacancies at the forecast offices could have affected warning dissemination, and if so-called warning fatigue had been growing among residents in a region described as one of the most dangerous in the country for flash flooding.

Climate scientist Kristina Dahl discusses the staffing situation. Also, CNN's Danny Freeman speaks with Harvard scientist John Holdren about the federally-mandated climate reports removed from government

....This?

Holdren?? The acolyte of Paul Ehrlich? Kristina Dahl works for Climate Central, a climate change advocacy group.

BTW did you even read the article? And other reporting today clearly indicates that there were no staffing issues, and in fact there were extra staffers on duty at the local weather office.

I’ll await the result of the Investigation by Marjorie Taylor Green , because there is already evidence that HAARP weather manipulation cause the flood deliberately.

Flash floods are a regular feature of dry areas, because by definition they don't have large river systems evolved to handle a major storm. Petra, in Jordan, is another example of that.

In terms of politics: it's hard to convince people to spend a lot of money on flood control, when it hardly ever floods. Underscore the words "hardly ever."

Thoughts with family and friend etc all caught up in this!? 1. Not blaming or pointing the finger but maybe bad decision made by going if there were a weather warning etc? 2. With that number of young people was there enough staff and any emergency plans in place? 3. Go back to 1952 and look up flooding in south of England and you can read about weather manipulation and part of a village got washed away!?. 4. Tasmania in Australia does 'cloud seeding' or did so til recently! 5. UK plans to experiment with spraying the sky to dim the sun---WHAT COULD GO WRONG AND COULD IT HAVE A KNOCK ON EFFECT ELSE WHERE!? Are other countries involved in such experiments?-----AT PRESENT PEOPLE ROUND THE WORLD ARE IN SATANIC/SINISTER TIMES!

These two young women reacted out of no fear for themselves and saved 20 lives..

At a time when there is so much anger and brutal actions taken upon the mexican people. These women saved 20 lives give credit where credit is due..

Mexican Counselors Silvana Garza Valdez and Maria Paula Zárate Hailed as Heroes After Rescuing Camp Mystic Girls During Texas Flooding

Channel2 NOW Staff July 6, 2025

These brave young Mexican women are heroines in Texas. Silvana Garza Valdez and María Paula Zárate, both 19 years old, rescued 20 girls trapped by the flooding of the Guadalupe River.

Why isn’t the mainstream media covering this?
