The problem with what you are saying and the part of my response with which you totally disregarded shows how dumb what you are saying really is.
A WEEK before any rain/storm/etc. starts to roll in it becomes well known especially through technology and still through word of a mouth and they knew they were going to get a "lot of rain in a short time frame" a week or two in advance with the current technology they possess.
What they didn't account for was multiple(4) damns failing. Do you know how many feet of water got released with each subsequent damn breach. Clearly not because you are blaming the weather man and Trump cutting NOAA funding for damns breaking that were probably built 50 years ago.
So I'd like to ask where you are going with this topic? I already said after a tragedy this bad this place will get a mult-million dollar new "system" and then nothing will happen here for decades and then the same thing will happen a few counties over next year. Same thing right? Trumps fault 45ft of water became a giant death spiral and killed/drowned 250 people(still to be found).
Pray for the people not a new government response system. Ask yourself how would that system help the people of that community directly affected. New system because "blame Trump" or new houses/roads/buildings/bridges/damns/etc. because that little town has nothing left.
Really out of touch with the core reality of what's going on there right now. People digging through mud for dead kids. Think of only that for a while big guy
