- 4th of July Texas Flood
Seems clear to me there should have been an important role for the state and county or city. At the very least there needs to be a way to ensure that emergency alerts get filtered to the people in the county, and that businesses have an effective and viable evac plan. Both the state of Texas and the county have mismanaged their alert systems. The camp probably should not have been allowed to legally operate, especially with 1,000 kids and apparently completely mismanaged and/or relying on counselors who are very young and inexperienced themselves.- 4th of July Texas Flood
I disagree. In my mind the blame lies with the state and local governments. Because - and here's the catch - ultimate responsibility lies with the parents. But it would be absurd for parents to individually inspect a camp's preparedness. We're a civilized country and we should be able to count on government to handle basic safety prep and preventive measures, or to ensure they're in place. Especially where it concerns 1,000 isolated children at a camp.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

I hate these fake religious fucks so much. Not having attended the camp but having heard that it's highly religious, I imagine those christian children prayed and prayed. They probably prayed someone with the state or county would arrive with help. Lotta good it did.- 2025 Thread of the Rains

Thanks for the pics, alexis texas. Didn't realize Camp Mystic was in a minimal risk area as designated by FEMA Flood Maps. That seems incredible based on reality. https://msc.fema.gov/portal/search?AddressQuery=2689 Highway 39%2C Hunt%2C TX 78024-3412- 2025 Thread of the Rains
