People who lost everything describe leaving homes and express anger at poor preparedness and officials who seemed to shirk responsibility
As Texas marshals a formidable response to the flash floods that have already killed dozens, questions are now being posed about warnings that were given on Thursday and early Friday about the severity of the approaching storm and the co-ordination between local officials and the National Weather Service.
New flood alerts were issued for Texas “hill country” on Sunday, prompting rescue services to suspend the search for missing people, including at least 11 from Camp Mystic, the summer camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River hard hit by Friday’s flash flood.
At an early evening press briefing, Kerr county authorities said they were suspending the search and evacuating first responders from the river valley. They confirmed that 68 had died there, including 28 children. Not all have been identified, with officials still examining the bodies of 18 adults and 10 children.
There’s consequences to our actions… and our votes. Oh well at least it was Christian girls in the middle of Texas. No harm done.
Children died. Children who only knew what they were indoctrinated into. It’s horrible no matter how you look at it, and hand waving it away because they’re kids of people who are likely to be shitty is just as horrible. Shame.
Yep. Lots of kids (and parents) only kind of tacitly take part in such activities/groups, because it’s something fun to do. They might not buy into very much or even any of the religious part…
