Instead of rushing to assign blame, rush to help. Listen to those grieving.
Let’s build better systems, yes, AND let’s also build better compassion.
Because climate-fueled disasters WILL get worse.

Fund science.
Fix alerts.
Treat climate action not as politics, but as survival.

Could warning systems be better? Absolutely. Should we ask hard questions about preparedness? Yes.
But let’s stop the armchair heroism.
You wouldn’t have evacuated early. You’d have stayed too. Not out of carelessness, but because no one imagined it would be that bad.
That’s not a flaw. It’s human.

Flash floods don’t knock politely. They roar in fast, rising in minutes. Now imagine it’s the middle of the night. You’re asleep. There’s thunder and rain. Again. It doesn’t feel any different than last time. And then suddenly, the water is at your door.

In Texas, flood warnings are common. They come often, and most of the time, they pass with little harm. So people understandably become numb. It’s like the smoke alarm going off every time you toast bread: eventually, you stop reacting. Until the one time, it’s real.
