That's odd. I watched videos today interviewing people caught in the flood and one lady was saying, "We get these flood warnings all the time and we just ignore them. We didn't think it would be this bad." So yeah, the warnings did go out. FWIW, they reported this was the 2nd worst flood in Kerrville recorded history. So, yeah, it's happened before.

Would there have been timely flash flood warnings without Obama's cuts? We'll never know. LOL Obama budget eliminates IT jobs at National Weather Service Obama administration's proposed budgets included cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which impacted the National Weather Service. These cuts, while not directly targeting the National Weather Service's core operational budget, included reductions in research and staffing, potentially affecting weather forecasting capabilities. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Research Cuts: The proposed budget included cuts to NOAA's research programs, including those focused on severe weather and climate modeling. This could impact the development of new forecasting technologies and understanding of severe weather events. Staffing Reductions: The administration also proposed cuts that led to staffing shortages at the National Weather Service, including the elimination of some positions and a reduction in the number of weather balloon launches.This can affect the accuracy and timeliness of weather forecasts, particularly for severe weather events. charlestoncitypaper.com govexec.com Of couse Obama was a Democrat so let's just continue to make more stupid comments blaming Trump for everything from the weather to plane crashes to hurt feelings.
