      Sometimes rivers become angry and it leads to a tragedy. The nazis are blaming PDJT for the flash flooding. Of course.

            A friend of ours lost two granddaughters in that flood. Just got a text from the mayor, our friend was the editor for the Mia Herald. That was terrible.

              The earliest CodeRED alerts appear to have reached local residents about an hour later, according to multiple local media outlets, while some reported not getting their first CodeRED alert until after 10am. 6 hours later.

              β€œIt should have been an immediate county-wide alert,” resident Louis Kocurek, who didn’t get his first alert until after 10am, told Texas Public Radio.

              Initial warnings were sent out 'six hours' to the Sheriffs dept.. dispatchers said they had to get permission from supervisors to put out and alert.. Incredible..
