I used to love to swim in the Pecos. Great spot kind of under thehigh bridge right where it entered the Rio Grande on rte 90. The last time I stopped it had backed up bad with silt.

Everything’s a fucking conspiracy that’s how they make the real stuff seem like bullshit. I can’t remember the last storm people claimed was naturally occurring, it’s always some bullshit. Conspiracy theories aren’t even fun anymore.
yeah, i used to be skeptical of anything until...
the government literally got caught framing trump
they had to admit they were literally arming and training terrorists in syria...
turns out jfk was shot in the head 3 times...
Storms do all kinds of things. Look at the path of Camille, which made landfall in La. then traveled inland for 1000+ miles and washed a large part of Nelson County Virginia away.
Overview
Hurricane Camille was a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane that struck the U.S. Gulf Coast on August 17, 1969, causing widespread devastation and claiming many lives. It is one of only four Category 5 hurricanes to make landfall in the United States. The storm's intense winds, storm surge, and flooding resulted in significant damage and loss of life, both along the coast and inland.
correct. i am just saying i don't expect them to tell us shit, especially when it fucks people up...like the clotshots.
They were told a week in advance it could get bad, that whole part of Texas from Dallas to San Antonio is known for flash flooding, so the conspiracy shit doesn’t really hold water.correct. i am just saying i don't expect them to tell us shit, especially when it fucks people up...like the clotshots.
But of course reading a couple links makes you the authority
i believe what they are saying is they can (for example) create that low pressure area that drew the moist air from the south and kept it there.
i realize that the area has experienced several significant floods in the past. frustrating to see the media interviewing "long time" residents that say on air that they have "never seen anything like it".
The only conspiracy theory I know that might hold water is the reason behind why Texas will not float out into the Gulf of America.
It is because Oklahoma sucks.
Sorry @Maggot . I went to UT at Arlington, making me a longhorn by extension and we have to give hell to the Sooners.

That wasn’t a Sheriff. That was an assistant Firechief of a VFD. A patrolman was standing g next to him, but the assistant fire chief was doing all the threatening. Assnt FireChief, Chris Melton.
Cloud seeding doesn’t create low pressure systems. People are also fucking stupid, so…?
That’s what I was trying to say. Just like in Dubai. They made a mistake and underestimated it.
Weather as a weapon perhaps
To be fair the weather mongers are mostly alarmist, sensationalist attention whores who repeatedly deliver empty warnings.
Plus, as you point out, people are stupid and should at least do some due diligence.
If I packed up for every hurricane they warned me about I'd still be unpacking.
Quick google search says immediately to 30 minutes, so there goes that theory

Let’s also ignore the fact they see lesser flooding there regularly, they were in the worst drought anywhere in the country, what was left of a tropical storm headed that direction, and everyone was sleeping because the shit got bad at 4-5 in the morning. Speaking of alarmists, I just read about people ignoring alerts because they are constantly sent them about non-emergencies. I got woke up by a Tornado Warning (with tornadoes on the ground I learned later)and went back to sleep because I was constantly getting bs stuff.
Nope, old man novel shits probably what happened…lol
An extended tragedy: Major Central Texas flash floods by the numbers
This is only Central Texas. The Coastal Plain down below the Balcones Escarpment has its own set of flooding records.

Apples to oranges, cool. Nice job failing at getting it to post properly also
Kind of fitting once you look back and realize the increasing accuracy of predicted hurricane tracks over the last 10-15 years.
Did weather forecasting tools get better? Or is it the ability to make storms track a certain way get better?
I don't think they have the ability to drum up a storm from raw scratch just yet, but they sure can intensify and steer one now.
It’s almost as though it’s mostly close to drought maps
*Gasp*
It also doesn’t say part of thats to inhibit hail. There’s crazy softball sized hail in central Texas.
I'm really sick of the blame games going on in the lame-stream media about this tragedy and the conspiracy theories. Here in Central Texas, guess what, it often rains like a cow pissing on a flat rock and because there's not a very deep soil layer (and what there is mostly is comprised of Texas gumbo clay) so the rain doesn't soak in.
Oklahoma is Texas’s secret shame attic retard. Anyone north of 20 is a yankeeAny one north of the Red River is a damn yankee.
TEXAS FLOODS: In a stunning announcement Austin Fire Chief, Joel G. Baker, is accused by his own firefighters of blocking the deployment of rescue teams to the catastrophic flood zone in central Texas.
According to reports the state of Texas requested help but Chief Baker allegedly said no because of an $800,000 dispute with the state government despite Austin having the best water rescue team in the state.
The union says they specifically trained for Hill County… for this very moment…
Below is a statement released by the Austin Firefighters Association.
“The Austin Firefighters are outraged by Fire Chief Joel G. Baker’s decision to deny the deployment of our highly trained swift water rescue teams to Kerrville until July 4th, despite the State of Texas calling for assistance on July 2nd. Only 3 AFD rescue swimmers were sent—far too late to save lives.
Our Special Operations teams are some of the best in Texas, but because of Chief Baker’s refusal to deploy them, lives were likely lost. His decision, based on a misguided attempt to save money, is unforgivable. The department is reimbursed for deployments, but Baker failed to understand that.
Starting Tuesday, we’re launching a vote of no confidence in Chief Baker, and we’re holding him—and anyone else responsible—accountable.
We’ve held off speaking out while victims were still being recovered, but it’s time for the community to know the truth.
We hope you stand with us in holding Chief Baker accountable.“

Seen video of him using the same inclusive language as the asst fire chief in LA. Wants to broaden the DEI in the department.
Dern. Where'd all that dust come from.
But they're home and we're here hurting for them.
OT but did anyone else know that Cameron Macgregor was his son? Didn't realize that until recently.
That’s fucked up, but as soon as homes/cars/rvs were swept away in that it was too late. You can’t swim/boat in thick layers of debris. Still fuck that guy

the fact that they requested these teams 2 days before flies in the face of democrat accusations that trump cuts caused the deaths.
That's already been done. The Red River is the Oklahoma border. If you step into the river from the Texas side, you are now in Oklahoma. The only exception is Lake Texoma. Most people that fish from a boat on the lake get the special Texoma license that allows you to fish from any part of the lake. I have fished in the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge.
