Disaster declarations have been issued for parts of central Texas after heavy rains produced “a catastrophic flooding event” and killed an as yet unconfirmed number of people.
The National Weather Service issued multiple flash flood warnings followed by a flash flood emergency early on Friday morning for Gillespie and Mason counties, after more than a foot of rainfall fell in just a few hours in the hill country west of Austin.
The local news outlet KXAN warned that “life-threatening flooding is imminent or occurring. Leave low-lying or flood-prone areas immediately, but do not drive over water-covered roads.”
Couldn’t have happened to a finer state.
What a horrific thing to say about children at a summer camp being washed away by flood waters. Can’t imagine what it’s like to live with a heart like that.
EDIT: If anyone with a soul stumbles upon this thread… Turn back. There’s no humanity to find here.
Welcome to Lemmy
virtue signalling when its most convenient, is very typical.
We had humanity once, the right wing beat it out of us. They certainly don’t get to pout about it now.
Did you know that people who aren’t right wing conservatives live in red states?
What? Where are they pouting about it?
The whole of Texas, MAGA, and The United States Congress just said “fuck them kids” to everyone else. You reap what you sow. “drill, baby, drill!”
I’m sure Governor Abbott and Ted Cruz and Ken Paxton are sure losing sleeping over it. I’m out of fucks to give.
they flee the state the moment something like this happens.
The citizens of Texas don’t care. Why should OP? They voted for this.
Lemmy doesn’t care that Texas is a purple state. They just go ahead and say “fuck you” to the 15 million people in Texas left of center anyway.
I’m a Texan. I care. I didn’t vote for this and neither did the majority of my city.
Sadly, you’re outnumbered in that state. If the GOP just had some basic fucking moral values, we would be in a decent place. But you gotta deal with the state you live in. Like we all do. I, too, live in a red state.
I once heard an idea… Everyone gets a Red and Blue card to carry.
You need childcare assistance? Show your blue card. You don’t want to be served by a trans waiter? Show your red card. Etc etc.
These people don’t care man. This thread is sickening.
Will no one think of the children?!?
Only while they are still in the womb.
Don’t talk ill of him, he might be near children.
As someone who wishes to burn quite a few regions in nuclear fire with zero regard for whomst is caught in the conflagration. I don’t have a heart to care, I sold it to the all father for a sandwich.
