Other elected leaders excused the storm as so massive that no one could have prepared for it.

Like no one (except Tom Clancy) could see 911 coming?
This is BS. If you live in Texas, you learn the storms.
The second "mistake" was in not providing for that warning systems. Trump/MAGA/GOP is forever willing to trade lives for "savings". We have a massive rainy day fund that they refuse to even spend on rain.
But the FIRST mistake was allowing these camps to be built in those flood plains at all. There's nothing more Texan than a massive flash flood. EVERYONE knew that they would be washed away one day. EVERYONE, including those who made a profit from this game of Russian roulette every year.
It's going to happen again.

People who still cling to "9-11 was a mysterious cascade of failures" are shocked when Israel is implicated in JFK's assassination.
The world must seem like a blur of nonsense to them.
Would they ---- their wrists arguing why the DoD longer sharing data with NOAA is unreal conspiracy?
