Texas Flood

[nowisthetime]

How do you know this? Much less the rest of your statement being true?

I can't see his posts until someone quotes his filth. The raving decrepit lunatic is currently on my ignore list and not worth responding to.

Many of us constantly donate to those in need, everything he posts are lies, fallacies and hatred.

 

[Lazaran]

Nonsense. San Antonio NWS forecast office had its meteorologist-in-charge and -- most important -- its hydrologist after the DOGE cuts. The latter is the person with the most responsibility for creating and overseeing flood warnings and flood warning programs at that office.

The two open positions are 8 am to 4:30 M-F positions that would have made no difference on a holiday weekend.

The NWS was adequately staffed (additional staffing was on hand due to increased urgency) and sent out four notices.
4pm - flood watch
11:40pm - flood warning
1am - flood warning with immediate.alerts for affected areas (mobile alerts)
5:30am - flood emergency (with more targeted mobile alerts)

All four warned of low areas to move to higher ground. The last three targeted specific areas of urgent focus.

Thank you for setting the record straight. The flood warnings even showed up on my national weather map for that day.

If you live in hill country ANYWHERE and it starts raining heavy you better get your ass to high ground.

Yeah, because that FEMA money is going to build concentration camps in floodplains.

I love that you just said that while your president's encampment is swimming. He should have built it on a hill.

The wise man builds his house on the rock
The foolish man builds his house on the sand
And when the rain came tumbling down
The foolish man house is washed away

It looks like MAGATs are finally admitting that climate change is caused by human activity and the weather is influenced by the emission of pollutants in the atmosphere.

A bill that would ban "chemtrails" has passed in the Louisiana state House of Representatives, clearing the way for it to go to the state Senate.
Republican state Representative Kimberly Landy Coates defended the bill, which passed 58 votes to 32.

We'll gloss over the fact that she's confused about vapor trails, formed when jet aircraft exhaust meets cold air and condenses. On the positive side, perhaps this will stop Trump from wasting all that time & money flying around the country playing golf instead of working. He has too much time between holes to dream up more countries to invade.

Thanks for confirming that it was NOT the meteorologist in charge who retired from the Austin-San Antonio office. As the blogger you cited on Reddit notes, Paul Yura is the one who retired after 32 years of service. He was not the MIC.

More importantly, the hydrologist, who has the most responsibility for creating and overseeing flood warnings and flood warning programs at that office was on duty.

And according to local reporting from 5NBCDFW…

NWS Meteorologist Jason Runyen said the National Weather Service office in New Braunfels, which delivers forecasts for Austin, San Antonio and the surrounding areas, had extra staff on duty during the storms.

Where the office would typically have two forecasters on duty during clear weather, they had up to five on staff.

“There were extra people in here that night, and that's typical in every weather service office — you staff up for an event and bring people in on overtime and hold people over,” Runyen said.

BabyBoobs is WRONG…AGAIN…



The meteorologist in charge (“MIC”) is NOT the person responsible for communicating severe weather warnings to local authorities.

Again, for the slow witted MAGAts (BabyBoobs, etc), the KEY point(s) of the report

In April, Paul Yura, THE WARNING COORDINATION METEOROLOGIST for the NWS Austin/San Antonio office, retired early after 32 years in the field. According to NOAA, this role is second only to the meteorologist-in-charge and is critical for translating forecasts into community alerts, managing spotter networks, and coordinating with local emergency teams. The position remains unfilled due to a hiring freeze caused by federal cuts to NOAA under the Trump administration.

Around the same time, the Houston NWS office lost its meteorologist-in-charge and now has a 44% vacancy rate. These cutstriggered a wave of early retirements and left local offices scrambling to maintain coverage—often relying on virtual support or temporarily reassigned staff. That’s a real loss of local expertise and institutional memory.

And here’s the thing: even the best weather models don’t matter if the warnings don’t reach people or don’t convey urgency. That depends on communication infrastructure and relationships on the ground—which in turn depend on staffing and experience.

I’ve seen a lot of comments saying “the NWS did their job,” and that they did issue a flood watch. But if the information didn’t get to the right people in time—or in a way that made the risk clear enough to act on—then something broke down. I also understand there were cell service issues in the area, which only underscores how urgent it is to improve how we reach people quickly and reliably in rural or high-risk zones during emergencies. That breakdown might not be one person’s fault, and maybe this disaster could not have been prevented at all—only time and investigation will tell. But it’s still worth asking whether federal staffing decisions weakened the very systems meant to support local emergency managers, especially in high-risk regions like the Texas Hill Country.



Bottom line:

• The KEY position for liaisoning between the NWS and local authorities was VACANT due to DonOld & DOGE; full stop.

• The individual that was forced out by DonOld & DOGE was an experienced, trusted, and respected member of the NWS who had an established relationship with the local authorities when communicating severe weather emergency warnings.

Hope that ^ helps.
