This was fueled by rains on recent wildfire burn areas.

Rio Ruidoso was a quiet little creek you could hop over....

It traversed right through Ruidoso Downs thoroughbred & quarter horse race track... totaled the track.

27 GIRLS & COUNSELORS DIED AT CAMP MYSTIC - JUST 48 HOURS AFTER STATE INSPECTORS APPROVED ITS “DISASTER PLAN.”

No evacuation. No flood alerts. Just cabins and tents swept down the Guadalupe River. The state signed off, and now? Everyone’s covering their ass.

Camp Mystic sat in a known flood zone. State inspectors approved the plan anyway with no flood risk assessment, no posted procedures, no real evacuation prep.

Now agencies are pointing fingers. Locals say there was no warning. Officials dodge every question.

And here’s the kicker:
State law requires every youth camp to post its disaster plan in all buildings.
They were NOT posted at Camp Mystic.
And five years of inspection records, reviewed by the AP, show the state never mentioned it once.

Not a single detail on flood procedures. Not one violation noted. But the boxes were checked. Filed. Approved. Forgotten.

Meanwhile:
* 27 dead at the camp.
* 87 dead in Kerr County.
* 111 across Texas.
* 172 still missing.
* Worse than Hurricane Harvey.

This was a predictable system failure, ignored by the very people who were supposed to prevent it.

Now that the bodies are piling up, every agency is scrambling to rewrite the story.

Political agitation.

The only real cuts that were IMPOSED, not identified, were USAID, State Department financing of queer theatre productions and third-world school queerings; and layoffs of work-at-home bureaucrats.

NO ONE can point to anyone laid off in the VA, NWS, the air-traffic system, or others.

But the schitt-stirrers never rest.
