President Donald Trump of the United States removed a flash flow location in Central Texas during a tour in a reporter during a tour, which suggests that she was a “very bad person” to ask if the warning warning system of the area worked as well as it could have been.
It is unlikely that his reaction will damping concerns about official preparations, which have refused to leave after the floods have killed at least 120 people and missing another 170.
While he investigated the damage of the deadly fourth July weekend floods in Texas who killed at least 120 people, Trump seemed temporarily lost for words.
“We just made a small tour of the area. It is difficult to believe the destruction. Trees that are 100 years old have just been torn out of the ground. I have never seen anything like that,” he said.
However, he soon recovered his calmness.
‘Only a bad person would ask such a question’
Trump rather loved the deciphering of civil servants in Democrat-Runned States by earlier natural disasters and tragedy.
During his visit to the flood plain of Texas in the most populated Republican State of America, the president, however, hit a much more gloomy and sympathetic tone – the heartache emphasized what happened while he praised effectively chosen officials and first responds.
When a reporter asked him if the warning warning system for the devastating floods worked as well as it could have had, Mr Trump took out.
“Only a bad person would ask such a question. I don’t know who you are, but only a very bad person would ask a question.”
Texas Republican representative Chip Roy was on tour with the president and supported his criticism of the reporter.
“The governor said it best when he said to show fingers for losers,” he said.
“This state is about looking ahead and we will find out how we can make our systems as good as possible. But more importantly, if you see 26 feet of water rising a foot per minute, don’t go around with fingers.”
That is something that some locals, such as nurse Aliz Treibs, agree.
“I know that everyone is trying to find mistakes and the debt at the moment and is trying to make it about politics. But I just feel that this really has just been a terrible, terrible act of nature and no one could have mastered this anyway.”
But others, such as the pastor at Christ is King Church, Michael Bell, say that there are people who must be held responsible for what happened, even if it is unclear who they can be.
“I know that there was something similar in 1987 that some lives cost – not as extreme as this,” he said.
“But then I know that there were some discussions about some larger scale plans that could have been implemented to prevent catastrophe with regard to human life, you know?
“So there will be some accountability that must be done. Some changes must definitely be made.”
Concern about the official flood treatment
The concern about the official preparation for and response to the disaster started at the top.
Some have asked whether those cuts on the federal government could have weakened the preparations or response of the flood.
Dr. Rick Spinrad – the former manager of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who supervises the National Weather Service – has told CNN that it is now impossible to say.
“Many of the offices for weather forecast do not work on full addition to the staff, which means that you really put these people an extra burden. I don’t know how much that was a factor in what happened in Texas,” he said.
But it is at state and local level where most questions are asked.
Camp Mystic’s Ramp Plan was approved by the officials of Texas, only two days before the floods wasted an estimated 27 campers and employees.
The Department of State Health Services released records earlier this week showing that the camp meets a large number of state regulations on procedures that must be implemented in the case of a disaster.
It remains unclear what was stated in the plan and whether or not it has been implemented.
Governor Gregg Abbott has planned a special session of the legislative power of Texas, from 21 July, which will discuss the improvement of warning systems for weather rates.
Sheriff Larry Leitha from Kerr County says that local officials will have their own assessment as soon as they have completed the task of restoring those who have died in the flood water and clean up the area.
