為什么德克薩斯州的洪水變得如此致命？

@kilowhisky
This EXACT same accident happened in exactly the same place in exactly the same manner 40 odd years ago. 1988, I believe. Lots of dead kids. Lots of prayers said. Recommendations were given to move the cabins away from the river and to install an early warning system further upstream. Unfortunately it seems that money was more important than lives and these were not implemented. If we fail to learn from history it is doomed to repeat  itself...
 
這個完全相同的事故在40多年前發(fā)生在完全相同的地方，以完全相同的方式發(fā)生了。大約是1988年。我相信。許多孩子死亡，許多禱告被說出。曾經(jīng)建議將營地小屋搬離河流，并在上游安裝預警系統(tǒng)。不幸的是，看起來金錢比生命更重要，這些建議沒有被實施。如果我們未能從歷史中汲取教訓，它注定會重演...

Wow. BBC just gave the best reporting I’ve listened to all weekend in the US. The US can’t stop political posturing long enough to report the actual news.
 
哇，BBC提供了我整個周末在美國聽到的最好的報道。美國連停下政治姿態(tài)報道實際新聞的時間都沒有。
 
@reamoinmcdonachadh9519
Two things, 1) If it takes high casualties numbers to force local authorities to put in proper warning/management facilities, THAT is an indictment of Local Authorities. 2) If flooding, especially the risk of Flash Flooding is seasonal, then WHY HOLD SUMMER CAMPS DURING THE SEASON?? Surely the thing is to hold them either early in the Summer, or later towards the end of Summer when the flood season is over?
 
兩點，1) 如果需要高死亡人數(shù)才能迫使地方政府建立適當?shù)木瘓?管理設(shè)施，那就是對地方政府的控訴。2) 如果洪水，尤其是閃洪的風險是季節(jié)性的，那么為什么要在這個季節(jié)舉辦夏令營呢？肯定應該在夏季初期或夏季結(jié)束時洪水季節(jié)結(jié)束后再舉辦吧？
 
@terriv9002
1) The cost of the flood warning systems is much more than the small local governments can afford. Blame there falls squarely on the state and federal governments. 2) Summer camps are about the only time of year students are out of school. In Texas, we have a week at Thanksgiving and two weeks at Christmas which are family times. There is also a week off in March, but there just isn’t a time of year for week long camps to be held.
The area larger area in which’s these floods occur is called flash flood alley. It is also a beautiful wooded place  that is very popular for vacationers to visit. Why have camps here? Why do people live along the Gulf of Mexico? I guess people are willing to risk the weather in exchange for the beautiful location.
 
1)洪水預警系統(tǒng)的成本遠遠超過了小地方政府能負擔的范圍。責任應該歸咎于州政府和聯(lián)邦政府。2) 夏令營幾乎是學生一年中唯一的假期時間。在德克薩斯州，我們有感恩節(jié)的一周和圣誕節(jié)的兩周假期，那是家庭團聚的時間。三月還有一周假期，但一年中沒有適合舉辦一周長營地的時間。
這些洪水發(fā)生的較大區(qū)域被稱為“閃洪巷”。這里也是一個美麗的林地，非常受游客歡迎。為什么要在這里舉辦夏令營？為什么人們會住在墨西哥灣沿岸？我想人們愿意為美麗的地點冒險，盡管這里的天氣風險。
 
@ljacobs357
My brother lives in Kerrville so I know the area well.  Everyone in that area knows that river is prone to flash floods, and many of the camp retreats are located right on the river.  The City has discussed a warning system but didn’t do it.  Texas is a Republican state and they don’t focus on infrastructure, but they find a way to to fund building plenty of roads.  Sad situation.
 
我哥哥住在科爾維爾，所以我很了解這個地區(qū)。這里的每個人都知道那條河容易發(fā)生突發(fā)性洪水，而且許多夏令營都建在河邊。市政府討論過建立預警系統(tǒng)，但沒有實施。德克薩斯州是一個共和黨州，他們不關(guān)注基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)，但卻找到了資金來修建大量的公路。真是悲哀的情況。
 
@zachhoward9099
I read the County where Kerrville is located voted the early warning system down because it’s $750k price tag was too high yet somehow found 8 million dollars to renovate the High Schools Football Stadium and Athletic Facilities. If that’s true which wouldn’t surprise me as football is almost a religion in Texas then that’s dispicable
 
我聽說科爾維爾所在的縣投票否決了早期預警系統(tǒng)，因為它的75萬美元價格太高，但他們卻找到了800萬美元來翻新高中足球場和運動設(shè)施。如果這是真的，我一點也不感到驚訝，因為足球在德克薩斯幾乎是一種宗教，那就真是可恥。
 
@duchessofnaples
It's gross negligence and yes, it is political. Republicans do not care about citizens and infrastructure. They care about cutting regulations  and saving money for corporations at the expense of the populace. They are absolutely culpable.
 
這是嚴重的疏忽，沒錯，這也是政治問題。共和黨不關(guān)心公民和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，他們關(guān)心的是削減法規(guī)，為公司節(jié)省資金，而忽視了民眾的利益。他們完全應該為此負責。
 
@scottgragg6587
i read that sometimes shit happens. its amazing how defunding is the new catch phrase.
 
我聽說有時候災難就是不可避免的。令人驚訝的是，削減資金成了現(xiàn)在的流行詞。
 
@robertsolomielke5134
Sirens would likely saved lives. My town has 2 , one for each dam.
 
警報可能拯救了生命。我們小鎮(zhèn)有兩套警報系統(tǒng)，每個水壩各一個。

可怕。愿所有遇難者安息。
 
@RidgeWalker-jw1rr
Don't make this political, not in a time of tragedy. Wait until the time of tragedy is over and people have forgotten so that way we can shrug our arms and just keep deregulating
 
不要把這件事政治化，尤其在悲劇發(fā)生時。等到悲劇過去，人們都忘記了，然后我們就可以聳聳肩，繼續(xù)放松監(jiān)管。
 
@anna-y3s5p
In a developed country this is insane, you need to start believing in science America! Flood sirens and proper funding for NOAA
 
在一個發(fā)達國家，這種情況簡直是瘋狂的，美國需要開始相信科學！洪水警報和對國家海洋和大氣管理局（NOAA）的適當資金支持。
 
@williamlandis40
The US has the most prone to natural disasters out of any country try in the world, this is unfortunate but to blame the US and this event on not “believing in science” is utterly clueless and quite disgusting to the victims
 
美國是世界上最容易遭遇自然災害的國家，這很不幸，但將美國和這次事件歸咎于“不相信科學”是完全不明智的，對受害者來說也是令人厭惡的。
 
@SeventhAnubis071
Kerrville was too cheap to install warning sirens. And don't count on Ted Cruz to draft a bill to make them national.
 
科爾維爾太吝嗇，沒安裝警報系統(tǒng)。別指望Ted Cruz來起草一項讓警報系統(tǒng)全國性的法案。
 
@jenmu7870
Will Trump fight climate change now? No, this would be too logical.
 
特朗普現(xiàn)在會應對氣候變化嗎？不會，這太符合邏輯了。
 
@RSCSBIB
Flooding in this region of Texas has decreased in both frequency and magnitude over the past years.
 
得克薩斯州這個地區(qū)的洪水在過去幾年里無論是頻率還是強度都有所減少。
 
@reamoinmcdonachadh9519
Even if the various Weather Departments had been fully staffed up, I seriously doubt a warning could have got out quick enough. Plus the fact so many resources were devoted to the Border, means that what response was available was going to be inadequate to the task.
Flash floods are called that for a reason!!
 
即使各個天氣部門都已經(jīng)完全人員配備，我也很懷疑警告是否能及時發(fā)出。再加上大量資源被投入到邊境問題上，導致可用的應急響應不足以應對挑戰(zhàn)。突發(fā)性洪水之所以叫“突發(fā)性洪水”，是有原因的！
 
@georgehand
I got a flood warning on my phone during my holiday to Philly during Eurovision week so I know first hand what Gary's talking about
 
我在費城度假時收到了洪水警報，正好在歐洲歌唱大賽那周，所以我能理解Gary說的是什么。
 
@kathlynterry8196
I’m from Texas and have known about this type of flooding with these rivers forever. It’s nothing new. It was unfortunate that the information wasn’t getting to the campers and others. It happened so early in the morning and the city didn’t have an elect system which is something that will be addressed.
 
我來自德克薩斯州，知道這些河流的洪水問題已經(jīng)很久了。這并不新鮮。遺憾的是信息沒有及時傳達給露營者和其他人。事件發(fā)生得太早，市政府沒有電子系統(tǒng)，正在考慮解決這個問題。
 
@upnorth2421
I cannot understand why do you have these camps so close to the rivers, if flooding is something that has been known forever?
 
我不明白為什么這些夏令營要建在這么靠近河流的地方，如果洪水問題一直都知道的話？
 
@RSCSBIB
There’s no phone service in that area, and most of rural Texas doesn’t have warning sirens.
 
那個地區(qū)沒有手機信號，而且德克薩斯州的大部分農(nóng)村地區(qū)沒有警報系統(tǒng)。
 
@hourbee5535
They should consult the Dutch about proper water management!
 
他們應該向荷蘭人請教如何進行適當?shù)乃芾恚?br />  
@melaniebutler6440
The long droughts render the ground almost impossible to absorb heavy rains. It simply pools and builds up. Texas is a very MAGA state and Abbott and Patrick are horrible managers of the state. Those camps are often used to brain-wash those poor children into the whole MAGA Christian cult. I have family struggling with this flood and they recall the flood in 1987. Many more people and highways. It’s a camp that has been around since 1920. Many of us were severely hurt by these camps.
 
長期干旱使得地面幾乎無法吸收大量的降雨。雨水就這樣積聚起來。德克薩斯州是一個非常支持特朗普的州，阿博特和帕特里克是州政府的糟糕管理者。這些夏令營常常被用來洗腦那些可憐的孩子，灌輸整個特朗普基督教教派的思想。我有家人受到這次洪水的影響，他們回憶起1987年的洪水。那時有更多的人和高速公路。這個營地自1920年以來就存在了。我們很多人都曾被這些夏令營嚴重傷害過。
 
@KarlWomack
I feel so sorry for Texans but America is so inconsistent, they don't believe that Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Cyclones, Tsunamis, Floods, Fires, Avalanches, Earthquakes, Volcanic Eruptions aren't to do with climate change and global warming.
 
我為德克薩斯州的人們感到難過，但美國的做法太不一致了，他們不相信龍卷風、颶風、氣旋、海嘯、洪水、火災、雪崩、地震、火山爆發(fā)和氣候變化與全球變暖有關(guān)。
 
@terriv9002
Another factor that wasn’t mentioned. DOGE cuts impacted materials as well as staff. Local independent forecasters in Texas have said that the reduction in the number of weather balloons and the data they provide has made accurate predictions more difficult. As a Texan, I’ve noticed that in the past few months, the forecasts have been significantly off quite a few times. Florida meteorologists have already questioned if there will also be enough hurricane hunter airplanes to get accurate predictions.
 
還有一個沒有提到的因素。政府效率部門削減了物資和工作人員。德克薩斯州的當?shù)鬲毩㈩A報員表示，由于天氣氣球數(shù)量減少以及它們提供的數(shù)據(jù)，準確預測變得更加困難。作為一名德克薩斯州人，我注意到在過去幾個月里，天氣預報有幾次明顯不準確。佛羅里達州的氣象學家已經(jīng)開始質(zhì)疑是否會有足夠的颶風獵人飛機來做出準確的預測。
 
@tenzindolma7287
Every individual has to take responsibility to the environment. This is the consequence of our negligence. Condolence to the families who lost their loved ones.RIP may god give them strength to handle the grief or pain.
 
每個人都必須為環(huán)境承擔責任。這是我們疏忽的后果。向失去親人的家庭表示哀悼。愿他們安息，愿上帝給予他們力量來面對悲傷和痛苦。
 
@lz1088
HMM it's almost like we all know who's at fault for this......
 
嗯，似乎我們都知道是誰的錯……
 
@lz1088
was thinking a lot higher up than that but the voters certainly didn’t help letting a certain man in office
 
我想的遠比這個高，但選民們確實沒有幫忙，讓某個人當選。
 
@V.E.R.O.
I didn't know Trump was responsible for installing the warning system in that particular area. How dare he?!!! And how dare he not warn people not to camp/live in a flood zone?! What was Trump thinking?!
 
我不知道特朗普負責在那個特定地區(qū)安裝警報系統(tǒng)。他竟敢？！他怎么敢不警告人們不要在洪水區(qū)露營/居??？！特朗普到底在想什么？！
 
@crustymilkcap
And instead of doing anything they're just going to think and pray
 
而且他們什么都不做，就只是想著并祈禱。
 
@LiseR-cu4dv
It sounds to me like the people are going to have to work out their own warning/alarm/evacuation systems.  Officials don't seem to want to spend the money.  Like, in the camps having somebody awake during the night when it is known there is going to be heavy rainfall.
 
在我看來，人們不得不自己搞清楚警報/疏散系統(tǒng)。官員們似乎不愿意花錢。就像在露營地里，知道會有強降雨的時候，至少應該有一個人夜間保持清醒。
 
@Panchito_0
Something that blew my mind is that over 75% of people in Kerr county voted for Trump. Cuts to NOAA, NWS, and FEMA while Trump’s latest bill funded ICE to the tune of 170 billion. I seriously feel for the kids that died, they paid the ultimate price for Trump’s policies. Common sense tells us that water goes downhill and this area is prone to flooding (with recent flooding in 1987). What happens when leaders dismantle the institutions, technology and scientists who keep our communities safe???
 
讓我震驚的是，科爾縣超過75%的人投票支持特朗普。削減了NOAA、NWS和FEMA的資金，而特朗普最新的法案卻為ICE提供了1700億美元的資金。我真的為那些死去的孩子感到心痛，他們?yōu)樘乩势盏恼吒冻隽俗畲蟮拇鷥r。常識告訴我們，水往低處流，而這個地區(qū)容易發(fā)生洪水（最近一次洪水發(fā)生在1987年）。當領(lǐng)導者拆解了那些保護我們社區(qū)安全的機構(gòu)、技術(shù)和科學家時，會發(fā)生什么呢？
 
@coralblue9966
As a person that lives in America i can tell you there is no political blame game.  Warnings went out, people in charged ignored them.
 
作為生活在美國的人，我可以告訴你，沒有政治上的推諉游戲。警報已經(jīng)發(fā)出，負責的人卻忽視了它們。

@dutchymcdutch2553
Terrible water management.
 
糟糕的水管理。
 
@auntiegardener6093
Texas has the worst governor who seems to always show up after the fact with thoughts and prayers. When will Texans say enough?
 
德克薩斯州有最差的州長，他總是在事后出現(xiàn)，說些祈禱和思考的話。德克薩斯人什么時候才能說夠了？
 
@CherriDove
The governor and congress put too much money into depriving women of their right to an abortion, banning books, and putting religious paraphernalia in classrooms, when they should have spent money on flood prevention. The Guadalupe River has flooded several times
 
州長和國會把太多的錢花在剝奪女性墮胎權(quán)、禁止書籍、以及在教室里放宗教飾品上，而不是花錢在防洪上。瓜達盧佩河已經(jīng)多次發(fā)生洪水。
 
@AdmiringBabyPenguin-on6fd
They cause their own problems, floods, tornados, hurricanes are nothing new in the US, and why they are acting surprised is beyond me. They should spend money on building defences for these disasters, yet here they are decades later, still not advanced.
 
他們自己制造問題，洪水、龍卷風、颶風在美國并不新鮮，為什么他們表現(xiàn)得如此驚訝我完全無法理解。他們應該花錢建造防災設(shè)施，但現(xiàn)在幾十年過去了，他們依然沒有進展。
 
@oldtuberig
Use your heads when you locate these camps. Locating a camp near a river or stream prone to flash flooding is stupid. That's what a flash flood is. A FLASH FLOOD. Close these improperly located camps permanently!
 
在安置這些營地時動動腦子。把營地設(shè)在靠近容易發(fā)生閃洪的河流或溪流附近是愚蠢的。閃洪就是閃洪。永遠關(guān)閉這些位置不當?shù)臓I地！
 
@zachharper6681

@Ellis-t4y
It’s a terrible tragedy for the families - sincere condolences. As for the State of Texas, just as Texas politicians voted to deny federal aid to blue states battling natural catastrophes, so should Texas forego such aid. But, of course, they won’t - hypocrites of the highest order.
 
對這些家庭來說，這是一個可怕的悲劇——深切的哀悼。至于德克薩斯州，就像德克薩斯的政客投票拒絕向藍州提供聯(lián)邦援助一樣，德克薩斯也應該放棄此類援助。但當然，他們不會——這是最高級的虛偽。
 
@dustinalexander75
It will probably be up to 300 at the end. I live 2 hrs from kerrville and will drive thru there on Thursday morning. No im not staying to watch trump. Would never do that.
 
到最后可能會達到300人。我住在距離科爾維爾兩個小時的地方，周四早上會經(jīng)過那里。不，我不會停下來看特朗普的演講。我永遠不會那樣做。
 
@greghendricks1481
The saddest part of this is that the Trump admin has gotten us so divided that Texans root for fires to burn down California and Californians are happy when a preventable catastrophe happens in Texas or Florida we cheer. This has to STOP! We are all just Americans. We all want mostly the same things. Trump is a master at “Divide and conquer” that we all hate each other while him and his best friends $$$$ are laughing all the way to the bank. Let’s direct our joint hatred at the source of our current issues.
 
最悲哀的部分是，特朗普政府讓我們變得如此分裂，德克薩斯人希望火災燒毀加利福尼亞，加利福尼亞人則在德克薩斯或佛羅里達發(fā)生可以預防的災難時感到高興，我們?yōu)榇藲g呼。這必須停止！我們都是美國人。我們大多數(shù)人想要的東西差不多。特朗普是“分而治之”的大師，他讓我們彼此仇恨，而他和他的好朋友們正笑著把錢賺到銀行。讓我們把我們的憤怒集中在當前問題的根源上。
