    This is a matter of storms being able to supercharge themselves due to global warming. Don’t let people reframe this against the NWS. It is like Hurricane Erick the other week that jumped to category 3 out of nowhere, storms are being rapidly supercharged. This flood broke all sorts of records, so to phrase it as the previous commenter did is unfair… In the near future, their ability to even predict as well as they did will degrade though, at which point you will hear more of ‘they never knew what they were talking about anyways.’ This lays the groundwork for that.

      People aren’t reframing it directly against the NWS, they’re blaming the fascist regime for cutting funds to important services. NWS has already stated the cuts are effecting the amount of data they can collect which directly effects the accuracy of their models, making the NWS less effective.
