Grok, even in its manipulated state, continues to emphasize the facts. And that's hurting the feelings of a lot of Twitter users. (discuss.online)

There’s all this focus on the NWS/NOAA not sending warnings early enough. Not from what I can tell, they were sending out warnings. And Kerr County, where many of the deaths have been, doesn’t have a local flood warning system because they didn’t want to pay for it.

If the warnings were louder, their parents would have done something. Why are you counting your "not from what I can tell" as data?

Edit:

People have reported receiving text message alerts on their mobile phones early on Friday morning, warning them of flooding. Some residents told the New York Times they did not understand the seriousness of them and others said they never received any at all.

The people designated to reach out to locals to make sure they understood how serious it was got fired

The point is that the people of Kerr County made a deliberate decision that they didn't need a local system to reach out to people living there. They decided they whatever information and warnings they were getting from the state and the feds was sufficient. It's easy to point to the NWS/NOAA firings as "the culprit", but where's the local responsibility?

The people? Or the husks in skinsuits we through mass delusion have decided to refer to as politicians?
