🚨 How much rain fell in Texas that caused the catastrophic flooding?

Difficult to imagine such devastating flooding. It’s a stark reminder of nature’s power and the importance of preparedness.

It's amazing how quickly heavy rains can lead to such devastating floods. The rapid rise of the Guadalupe River in just 45 minutes is a stark reminder of how vulnerable certain areas can be to flash flooding. It's a sobering thought that many people were asleep during the worst of it.

My goodness, that's a lot of rain in a short amount of time! It's heartbreaking to hear about the loss of life and the impact on the community.

The Texas floods serve as a sobering reminder of nature's power and the increasing impact of climate change on extreme weather events. It's crucial for us to continue studying and understanding these phenomena to better prepare and mitigate future risks. My thoughts are with the affected communities.

"Was the flood caused by government mismanagement or just Mother Nature’s libertarian streak? Either way, maybe we should stop building in flood zones… or at least stop subsidizing it?"
