🚨 Devastating Floods in Texas Highlight Dangers of NWS Cuts 🚨Heartbreaking news from Texas: the catastrophic flooding in Kerr County, claiming 24–27 lives, caught many by surprise due to an inaccurate National Weather Service (NWS) forecast. At a press conference, Texas officials pointed to the NWS’s failure to predict the 10–15 inches of rain that overwhelmed the Guadalupe River. Why? Nearly 600 staff cuts to NOAA and the NWS this year, equivalent to 15 years of reductions have slashed critical resources like weather balloon launches and 24/7 forecasting operations.

It’s a powerful and awe-inspiring reminder of just how dynamic our planet’s atmosphere can be. ... See MoreSee Less
