🚨 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?
