Interesting how nobody has made a thread about it yet. People loved to talk about CA being on fire.
Over 100 dead so far.

Ted Cruz has had quite a week. On Tuesday, the Texas senator ensured the Republican spending bill slashed funding for weather forecasting, only to then go on vacation to Greece while his state was hit by deadly flooding, a disaster critics say was worsened by cuts to forecasting.
Cruz, who infamously fled Texas for Cancun when a crippling winter storm ravaged his state in 2021, was seen visiting the Parthenon in Athens with his wife, Heidi, on Saturday, a day after a flash flood along the Guadalupe River in central Texas killed more than 100 people, including dozens of children and counselors at a camp.

God forbid they chip in and help out.
@AThousandYoung saidVery close to where we live, we were out of state at the time. On our way back, we only had one detour due to flooding, and rain is still in the forecast.

Could it have been either prevented or at least better prepared for?
