Extraordinary footage of flash flooding in Texas

By Jo Nova

A thread for Texas…

Scrib Nibit stood on the Centre Bridge in Texas [downstream from Kerrville]. In a condensed footage of a 35 minute period, the first surge arrives. Minutes later the river is a torrent, carrying trees, logs, and finally rising to the bridge level, a house (apparently with a cat). Somehow cars are still crossing as the logs pile up against the railings. They don’t say what happens to the cat. The area is known as Flash Flood alley.

Despite claims the staffing was cut, extra staff were on duty and warnings were issued. The real problem according to a local in SE Texas, is that they get flashflood warnings every day for weeks on end at times. Nobody pays attention to them.

Even on the far side of the world the Australian ABC news used the deaths of little children in Texas to try to score political points.
