Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I'd like to understand any link between funding cuts and flood deaths in Texas. 

Zero cause.

This NOAA organization houses the NWS, which sent as many emergency notices as possible.

The fat has been trimmed - none of the NWS staff were removed.

Anonymity.  Hiding behind a computer screen.

I have avoided social events in this building because fairly often someone present will feel a need to "weigh in". 

Lots of people on FB and other sites using their real name. 

When an event is so extreme, it's the tip of the bell curve-rare, people still feel the need to blame someone for it.

Funny, no one is blaming god.  Weird. 

Well, warnings occur for a reason.  That's on them (the adults who sat on their hands).  That's a lot of dead children to be the cause of.

yes, but I wouldn't string up those adults, they had no idea.

yes , they should have acted quicker and been more cautious, but as you say, it was a 100 year event if not more.

no adult expected this

SLUBICE, Poland (AP) — Poland reinstated border controls on Monday with Germany and Lithuania following similar German restrictions imposed earlier this year aimed at discouraging asylum-seekers.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, whose government recently survived a confidence vote in parliament, announced the restrictions last week. Pressure has been mounting after far-right groups in Poland have alleged Germany was transporting migrants into Polish territory after they reached Western Europe.

The reinstated controls, which began overnight Sunday, will last for an initial period of 30 days, though authorities have not ruled out extending them, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration.

“Illegal migration is simply a crime,” Polish Interior Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said Sunday during a news conference.

yup, probably thought they were safe moving into a building
