Children’s camps wiped out by floods.
The people running these camps, from counselors on upwards (if they survived), should be charged with negligent homicide for not heeding the warnings. Every parent should get one good whack with a sick on each of them as long as they survive.
Low-lying children’s camps flooded, leading to dozens of dead and missing.
Say a prayer for those missing children and their families. It doesn’t look good.
It’s a heartbreaking situation. From what I’ve read, there wasn’t much warning to heed — flood watches were issued the night of July 3, and flash flood warnings came shortly after midnight. In some areas, people had less than an hour before the Guadalupe River surged over 20 feet. That’s well beyond typical flash flood expectations.
There’s also growing scrutiny over how prior cuts to the National Weather Service — especially staffing and forecasting tools — may have impacted early detection and communication. Several experts raised those concerns months ago.
For me, first thoughts are with the families — it’s hard to imagine the grief. There’ll be time to understand what went wrong and whether anyone acted negligently, but right now I just feel for those affected and hope for survivors.
