"The forecasting was good. The warnings were good. It’s always about getting people to receive the message,” “It appears that is one of the biggest contributors — that last mile.”

1- The forecasting was not good; it was woefully underestimated.

2- The warnings were not good, had they been, no one would be missing.

3- The message was not received because your delivery was also fubar, you owned that last mile.

This is not the 1st time this has happened. Look at the history of the Texas 'hill country' particularly in 1987.

This is a direct result of maga / doge and their reckless / irresponsible cuts to programs they have no clue about. Programs put in place due to disasters exactly like this in the past.

The lies have to end.
