Who knew that the rivers would flood to the extent that they did?

That is the only question that matters. Who knew?

Not, “What were the warnings?” Not, “Would pre-DOGE situation have known?” Not, “When did…?” No.

Who knew?

Is there any meteorologist that would claim that they were interpreting the data and the data suggested that what happened was possible to happen?

Who knew?

If the meteorologists thought, “Zero chance of 26ft rise, but non-zero chance of 25 foot rise,” then we want to know that.

If they thought, “Unlikely, but non-zero chance of 26ft rise,” then we want to know.

None of the other questions matter until someone admits that they knew the floods could happen precisely as the floods did happen. It doesn’t matter which warning system was in place. It doesn’t matter when the warnings were given. DOGE doesn’t matter. Nothing matters until we learn if any human being on earth (likely a meteorologist in TX) knew that the floods would play out as they did play out.

I, for one, did not know that what happened in TX was possible.

What I want to know now is who did know.
