@msnbc: A video captured and posted to social media by Robert Ivey shows the speed of catastrophic flash flooding in central Texas. The video was captured late Friday afternoon of the Llano River near Kingsland, Texas. #texas #texasfloods
Trump revoked Executive Order 13690 on August 15, 2017—the same day he was defending white nationalists after Charlottesville. That order, signed by Obama in 2015, required federally funded infrastructure projects to account for flood risks, using updated science. So actually, yes you can blame him. By revoking EO 13690, levees, dams, roads, and even hospitals built or rebuilt with federal funds weren’t required to plan for this kind of extreme weather
Even if the dam in question was old, removing future-proofing requirements actively blocked upgrades and left communities more exposed. It wasn’t just inaction—it was deliberate deregulation. That’s not local mismanagement—that’s federal neglect.

The government cut funding to weather and climate monitoring. Loss of life could've been prevented.

just out of curiosity, you are aware that, by definition, a "time lapsed" video cannot accurately show the speed of something, yes?

Time lapse is the opposite of showing us the actual speed. 🤔

I love how people act like somehow trump just magically controlled the weather and caused this. Who was responsible for Katrina? Who was responsible when levees broke in Kentucky and flooded communities? Who was responsible during other floods similar to this that have happened in the past? Was the current administration allways to blame? Or has it allways been collective negligence over the course of time that should have been addressed by multiple different people before it ever reached that point? You really have people saying these girls deserves this. You have people glad they died because they were white. Glad they died just over the assumption of their political affiliation. Are we not human anymore? Who rejoices over the death of children???

People who say it doesn’t matter who you voted for clearly don’t understand that the loss of life caused by things like this is directly impacted by who you voted for.

Funding may affect how many meteorologists there are but 1 expert (being paid) could’ve said something and issued a warning. Money didn’t cause this
