Let's Talk FACTS: While Dems Act Like Ghouls, Chris Martz Sets the Record STRAIGHT on NWS, Texas Flooding

The Left began standing on the bodies of dead Texans, including children, who were killed in catastrophic flooding before the waters even started receding. CNN's Dana Bash blamed Trump and climate change. Others blamed DOGE and budget cuts.

But here's a meteorologist -- you know, one of those 'experts' the Left loves -- setting the record STRAIGHT.

So pay attention, Lefties.

Okay. Let’s talk some facts.

The Camp Mystic flood disaster in Texas is very unfortunate, and I hope that all of the missing girls are found.

The entire post is long, but worth reading, so here it is:

The usual suspects are exploiting this tragedy to score political brownie points. Some left-wing activists are blaming this flood on “climate change,” others are blaming the deaths and missing persons on inadequate warning caused by low staffing at the National Weather Service (NWS) caused by Trump administration federal RIFs.
First of all, staffing cuts played no part in this tragedy.
The NWS issued a flood watch for Kerr County more than 12 hours ahead of the flood. They also issued a flash flood warning for Hunt and Ingraham THREE HOURS before the Guadalupe River began to climb. There was plenty of lead time with respect to the forecast and issuance of warnings.
The flood was caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry becoming embedded into a broad mid-level trough over central Texas. These remnant lows are typically slow-moving and drop heavy rain over a large geographical area where the troposphere destabilizes.
This particular one stayed quasi- (fairly) stationary, and caused massive flooding along the Guadalupe River, something that has happened many times before. In 1987, a flash flood on the same river killed 10 teenage campers from the Pot O Gold Christian Camp, with another 33 swept away who survived.
Camp Mystic is built on a floodplain. It is on sediment that has been deposited by hundreds, if not thousands of floods over the last millennium.
The event has nothing to do with climate change.
And, the tragedy had nothing to do with DOGE cuts.If you are someone who has exploited this catastrophe because you just don’t like Trump, you need to take a serious look in the mirror.
