... (1) build less in areas known to be high risk, (2) stop over-relying on the "100 year flood", the disconnect between how it's communicated vs actually estimated is incredible, (3) dramatically improve early warning (starting with weather!), (4) create safe places to retreat to during floods

Horrific things are happening along the Guadalupe River right now. Absolutely devastating for the families of everyone missing.
I'm skeptical that we're going to build our way out of experiencing major flooding with 15+" rain on hilly terrain. Instead, we need...

Happy love day to folks in the #meteorologist #meteorology community who sweated through years of fluid dynamics, horrific color maps, and people mad you don’t have a crystal ball, then took an underpaying job, just to find out you’re part of the “parasite class”
