Key events
Texas’ fatal floods could report a new standard in the United States, because Donald Trump and his dismantling allies of crucial federal agencies that help states to prepare and meet extreme weather conditions and other dangers, the experts warn.
More than 100 are dead and dozens of others remain disappeared after the sudden floods in the descending area known as Texas Hill Country swept away vacation camps and whole houses on Friday evening – in what seems to have been another banal storm that has stalling before pouring huge quantities of rain over a short period of time, a phenomenon which is more and more current as the planet Warm.
We still do not know why the early alert system has failed to result from the timely evacuation of Camp Mystic camp, where 700 girls camped in a flood plain known on the Guadalupe river, but there is an increasing concern that chaos and cuts caused by Trump and his billionaire Donor Elon Musk at the National Weather Service (NWS) and (Fema) may have contributed to the death of death.
Samantha Montano, professor of emergency management at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, said:
This is the exact type of storm including meteorologists, climatologists, emergency management experts have spoken and warned for decades at this stage, and there is absolutely no reason that this does not happen in other parts of the country.
This is what happens when you let climate change operate tirelessly and separate the emergency management system – without investing in this system at the local level and the state.

The Governor of Texas says that each missing person will be found by warning a threat of heavy rain
Governor of Texas Greg Abbott published a statement yesterday, reassuring the residents that the State continued to “work on the counter” in its response to the tragedy of floods and promised that the work will not stop until each missing person – who would be 24 years – would be found.
He added:
There is still a threat of heavy rains with the potential to cause floods in the central regions of Texas, the Hill Country, the large country and the Concho valley. Texans are invited to stay meteorological, take into account the advice of local officials and regularly monitor weather forecasts.
Texas will remain engaged until each missing person is found and each Texan recovers from this disaster.
Abbott advised Texans to regularly check the weather updates. Citing the National Weather Service, the government agency which provides weather forecasts in the United States, the governor said that “the rain having potential to cause floods is planned for large parts of the State, including the center of Texas, the Hill Country, the large country and the Concho valley in the coming days”.
