Yeah if the camp had radios, the guy with weather information could give a holler to the people in danger, that could work

Nope, the warning system wasn't installed because the citizens of the community thought it was too expensive

During a news conference early Friday morning, Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said he didn't know why the camps hadn't been evacuated, but that the county did not have an early warning system or outdoor sirens to alert people to flooding conditions.

“We’ve looked into it before … The public reeled at the cost,” Kelly said.

Can someone find me a source on this. Most of the articles I have read say NWS pushed out a flash flood alert 3 hours in advance but the camp itself didn't have any alerting system in place. So if they had cell reception and turned on the emergency alert then they would've been warned.

I'm sure cuts to the NOAA and NWS can't be beneficial for anyone though

I think I once had 20 seed ratio on the tv series Psych. Haven't seeded since my vpn got all wonky on me, I'll start again for sure.

Already degoogled but nice thing you guys got going on. Consider making this a megathread or something

I can't imagine being the photographer for these fucking chuds

I do get your sentiment but discord has its place. It's nice for quick messaging. Forums are for well thought out discussions. Discord is where you would shitpost, have offtopic channels, link weird videos and memes in a quick and fast way.

White... supremacy?

Can't believe they turned you down. Would've loved to hear about PH developer stories
