Texas Officials Criticize Trump-Era Weather Service Cuts After Disasters
Texas officials are criticizing the National Weather Service (NWS) for its failure to accurately forecast the catastrophic flooding that has resulted in numerous deaths. The NWS faced staffing shortages following cuts initiated by the Department of Government Efficiency. Despite these challenges, the original forecast underestimated the rainfall, leading to heavy flooding along the Guadalupe River. This has led to significant loss of life and the current president has also noted the impact of the event.
