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.”
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.
