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.
 

Tsunami waves reach California and Hawaii after massive earthquake in Russia​

  • Tsunami waves have reached California several hours after a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Russia’s Far East.
  • The earthquake, which struck off the coast of Russia’s remote Kamchatka Peninsula early Wednesday, triggered evacuation orders in Hawaii and Japan.
  • Waves in Japan have ranged from 30 centimeters to 1.3 meters.
Tsunami waves have reached California and Hawaii several hours after a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Russia’s Far East.

The U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center said Wednesday morning that tsunami waves measuring 1.6 feet above tide level have been observed in Arena Cove in the U.S. state of California.

In Hawaii, tsunami waves of up to 4.9 feet above tide level were registered although the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has said available data suggests a major tsunami is not expected to strike the island state.

Surely, somehow, this 8.8 magnitude earthquake is the result of global warming and I should feel responsible for mowing my yard with a gas mower. :noevil:
 

Volcano in Russia’s far east starts erupting after huge Pacific earthquake​

Russia's Klyuchevskoy volcano has erupted on the Kamchatka peninsula, following a powerful earthquake in the Pacific on Wednesday.

The Russian Academy of Sciences' United Geophysical Service confirmed the eruption, stating on Telegram: "A descent of burning hot lava is observed on the western slope. Powerful glow above the volcano, explosions."

Klyuchevskoy, one of the world's highest volcanoes, is located approximately 450 km (280 miles) north of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the regional capital.

It has erupted several times in recent years.

Yeah. Trump did it.

And you ray-cyst whiteys helped. RAY-SISSM KILLS!
 
Yeah. You experiment with weather modifications, you sometimes GET weather modifications.

I don't have a link, but a covert operation, going on a year now, seeding clouds out of California...ostensibly to "fight glow bull warming" with additional cloud cover...was recently uncovered. AFTER torrential rains in Texas. Which have happened in the past, but not frequently.

Dabble with what you don't understand or fully control, and sometimes disasters happen. And sometimes that's really the mad-scientists' aim.
 
**Note to self............no trips to NYC in the future.

 

Truckers who cleaned up after California wildfires say they were left in the lurch for thousands of dollars​

After working long, grueling hours to clear the burn zone from the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles County, dozens of truck drivers in California say they were left waiting on paychecks that didn’t come.

Alex Miramontes, owner and operator of Gray Valley Transport, says he and about 40 other truckers were hired to remove debris in the area from March through May.

“We’re all behind on insurance, mortgages,” he told CBS Los Angeles in a story published June 7. “We borrowed [because] we thought the money was going to come in on time.”

The truckers say they worked 12 to 16 hours a day for over two months under harsh conditions.

Would you have expected anything else? Had I been doing work...I'd have asked for the same any contractor would of any unknown credit risk. Half on commencement; half midway through. What, you don't trust ME? Here's my performance bond.
