📡 THE FLOOD WAS FORECAST. THE FAILURE WAS DESIGNED.
Texas drowned. Not because of nature, but because of a dismantled warning system.
They’re trying to pin the flood on Biden. They want you to blame bureaucracy, or storms, or God. But the storm wasn’t the failure. The system was.
And the sabotage has a signature.
🧨 FEMA Was Gutted Before the First Raindrop Fell
In May 2025, FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton was fired after warning Congress that the agency wasn’t ready for hurricane season.
The strategic roadmap was thrown out.
More than 2,000 staff cut = expertise erased.
Replaced by a Trump loyalist: ex-Marine David Richardson, with zero background in disaster coordination.
FEMA was restructured into a top-heavy shell, offloading preparation to states without funding them.
This didn’t happen during the flood.
It happened by design, months before it.
🌪️ The National Weather Service Was Crippled
While Texas braced for storm season:
Over 880 NOAA employees were fired, including from the Hurricane Center and regional labs.
600+ National Weather Service staff cut.
Balloon launches suspended in southeast Texas, cutting off vertical atmospheric data.
Flood models deprecated.
Replacements delayed.
All funding for climate, ocean, and weather labs eliminated in FY2026.
Forecasts weren’t wrong.
They were blind, because the government unplugged the instruments.
📡 The Technology They Let Rot
Texas relied on:
NEXRAD radars built in 1988, still the core of storm detection
Weather balloons, tech that hasn’t changed in 80+ years.
A 1980s Texas A&M radar, used for research but not integrated into national alerts.
No flash flood systems in counties like Kerr. Residents relied on social media and hope.
When people ask, “Why wasn’t the storm predicted?”
Ask instead: Who deleted the tools?
📍 The Real Timeline (Receipts Included)
Aug 2024: BBB drafted, includes FEMA and NOAA restructuring.
Nov 2024: Trump wins. Plans set in motion.
Jan 2025: FY2026 budget slashes NOAA by 17%.
April 2025: DOGE directive cuts NOAA/NWS staff.
May 2025: FEMA chief fired; strategic plan cancelled.
June 2025: Texas floods. Forecasts fail. People die.
This isn’t an “oops.”
It’s an op.
The so-called Big Beautiful Bill handed power to private contractors and data vendors while cutting the people who could save lives.
Surveillance programs funded.
Disaster preparedness defunded.
Tax deferments for billionaires.
No water sensors for the people in low ground.
They didn’t forget you.
They reclassified you as acceptable loss.
🔊 Don’t Let Them Rewrite This.
They’ll say it was weather.
They’ll say it was Biden.
They’ll say it was fate.
But the receipts are clear:
Trump’s second term dismantled the national weather warning system.
It centralized FEMA while stripping its tools and staff.
And when the floods came, the machine did exactly what it was rebuilt to do:
Fail loudly, and without accountability.
🕳️ We’re Watching the Rebrand in Real Time
This is not a weather story.
This is the dry run for climate shock governance.
Fewer tools.
More control.
Blame the victim.
Spin the flood.
They’re not saving you.
They’re harvesting the narrative.
Tow the line. Let the shadow speak.
