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.”
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.

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.
