Who is to blame for the Central Texas floods?
Manage episode 493684564 series 2388288
Last Friday morning, several storm cells merged and then stalled over Kerr County in Central Texas. As a result, an entire summer’s worth of rain fell in some areas. Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said the area floods frequently, but officials “had no reason to believe that this was going to be anything like what’s happened here. None whatsoever.” Nonetheless, critics are implicating the Trump administration, Texas state officials, local officials, and the National Weather Service in the disaster. When tragedy strikes, it is never long before people begin looking for someone to blame. Why is this, and what should be our response?
