Wow it's almost like plugging your ear and going "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU CLIMATE CHANGE BECAUSE YOURE NOT REAL LALALALA" isn't going to fucking stop climate change.
Trump and musk killed those girls. Convince me otherwise...
It remains unclear why the early warning system failed to result in the timely evacuation of Camp Mystic, where 700 girls were camped on a known flood plain on the Guadalupe River
That is not unclear at all. The reason they did not get evacuated is because there are no sirens that sound when flood alerts are issued. The area relies on cell net alerts and posts on Facebook and Twitter. People in the region have very spotty cell service so many phones did not get the alerts and, at Camp Mystic, the children at least were not allowed to have phones with them. So, in summary, there was no early warning system in place to alert these campers to flee to higher ground.
Yes this is the new normal.
America will become more of a hell hole and every institution will fall apart, all while the supports chant about "making America great".
