Texas floods latest: 133 dead as report claims Camp Mystic leader received flood warning hour before disaster - Flash flood warnings remain in effect across parts of Central Texas Tuesday morning as t

For years, employees say, they've had to do more with less. But the ability to fill in the gaps became strained to the breaking point when the Trump administration began pushing new staffing cuts.

ABC News reported that the death toll from the flooding that ravaged Central Texas over the 4th of July weekend had reached 133. Many Democrats, following the tragedy, are highly critical of the Trump administration — arguing that draconian cuts to the National Weather Service (NWS) will make disasters worse.

The flood warning is in effect until Tuesday, July 15, at 7 a.m. for the Frio River. NWS said that major flooding is forecast for the Frio River below Dry Frio, with the National Water Prediction Service predicting the river will hit 18.6 feet at around 5 p.m. The major flood stage for the Frio River is 17 feet.

Experts say outlandish claims of weather manipulation are hindering disaster preparedness and emergency response.

Parts of Central Texas are under yet another flood watch this weekend. The impacted areas are the same as those hit by the July 4 deadly floods.

Some governors and mayors are concerned over how current or potential cuts to agencies will impact how the government can respond in the future to major weather events.

The Chicago area has felt less of an impact from the Trump administration’s National Weather Service cuts than offices in the Quad Cities and downstate Lincoln.
