为什么德克萨斯州的洪水变得如此致命？

@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...
 
这个完全相同的事故在40多年前发生在完全相同的地方，以完全相同的方式发生了。大约是1988年。我相信。许多孩子死亡，许多祷告被说出。曾经建议将营地小屋搬离河流，并在上游安装预警系统。不幸的是，看起来金钱比生命更重要，这些建议没有被实施。如果我们未能从历史中汲取教训，它注定会重演...
 
@diannetipton8208
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提供了我整个周末在美国听到的最好的报道。美国连停下政治姿态报道实际新闻的时间都没有。
 
@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?
 
两点，1) 如果需要高死亡人数才能迫使地方政府建立适当的警报/管理设施，那就是对地方政府的控诉。2) 如果洪水，尤其是闪洪的风险是季节性的，那么为什么要在这个季节举办夏令营呢？肯定应该在夏季初期或夏季结束时洪水季节结束后再举办吧？
 
@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)洪水预警系统的成本远远超过了小地方政府能负担的范围。责任应该归咎于州政府和联邦政府。2) 夏令营几乎是学生一年中唯一的假期时间。在德克萨斯州，我们有感恩节的一周和圣诞节的两周假期，那是家庭团聚的时间。三月还有一周假期，但一年中没有适合举办一周长营地的时间。
这些洪水发生的较大区域被称为“闪洪巷”。这里也是一个美丽的林地，非常受游客欢迎。为什么要在这里举办夏令营？为什么人们会住在墨西哥湾沿岸？我想人们愿意为美丽的地点冒险，尽管这里的天气风险。
 
@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.
 
我哥哥住在科尔维尔，所以我很了解这个地区。这里的每个人都知道那条河容易发生突发性洪水，而且许多夏令营都建在河边。市政府讨论过建立预警系统，但没有实施。德克萨斯州是一个共和党州，他们不关注基础设施建设，但却找到了资金来修建大量的公路。真是悲哀的情况。
 
@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
 
我听说科尔维尔所在的县投票否决了早期预警系统，因为它的75万美元价格太高，但他们却找到了800万美元来翻新高中足球场和运动设施。如果这是真的，我一点也不感到惊讶，因为足球在德克萨斯几乎是一种宗教，那就真是可耻。
 
@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.
 
这是严重的疏忽，没错，这也是政治问题。共和党不关心公民和基础设施，他们关心的是削减法规，为公司节省资金，而忽视了民众的利益。他们完全应该为此负责。
 
@scottgragg6587
i read that sometimes shit happens. its amazing how defunding is the new catch phrase.
 
我听说有时候灾难就是不可避免的。令人惊讶的是，削减资金成了现在的流行词。
 
@robertsolomielke5134
Sirens would likely saved lives. My town has 2 , one for each dam.
 
警报可能拯救了生命。我们小镇有两套警报系统，每个水坝各一个。

@newmankidman5763
Terrible. May all the victims rest in peace.
 
可怕。愿所有遇难者安息。
 
@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
 
不要把这件事政治化，尤其在悲剧发生时。等到悲剧过去，人们都忘记了，然后我们就可以耸耸肩，继续放松监管。
 
@anna-y3s5p
In a developed country this is insane, you need to start believing in science America! Flood sirens and proper funding for NOAA
 
在一个发达国家，这种情况简直是疯狂的，美国需要开始相信科学！洪水警报和对国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）的适当资金支持。
 
@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
 
美国是世界上最容易遭遇自然灾害的国家，这很不幸，但将美国和这次事件归咎于“不相信科学”是完全不明智的，对受害者来说也是令人厌恶的。
 
@SeventhAnubis071
Kerrville was too cheap to install warning sirens. And don't count on Ted Cruz to draft a bill to make them national.
 
科尔维尔太吝啬，没安装警报系统。别指望Ted Cruz来起草一项让警报系统全国性的法案。
 
@jenmu7870
Will Trump fight climate change now? No, this would be too logical.
 
特朗普现在会应对气候变化吗？不会，这太符合逻辑了。
 
@RSCSBIB
Flooding in this region of Texas has decreased in both frequency and magnitude over the past years.
 
得克萨斯州这个地区的洪水在过去几年里无论是频率还是强度都有所减少。
 
@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!!
 
即使各个天气部门都已经完全人员配备，我也很怀疑警告是否能及时发出。再加上大量资源被投入到边境问题上，导致可用的应急响应不足以应对挑战。突发性洪水之所以叫“突发性洪水”，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
 
我在费城度假时收到了洪水警报，正好在欧洲歌唱大赛那周，所以我能理解Gary说的是什么。
 
@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.
 
我来自德克萨斯州，知道这些河流的洪水问题已经很久了。这并不新鲜。遗憾的是信息没有及时传达给露营者和其他人。事件发生得太早，市政府没有电子系统，正在考虑解决这个问题。
 
@upnorth2421
I cannot understand why do you have these camps so close to the rivers, if flooding is something that has been known forever?
 
我不明白为什么这些夏令营要建在这么靠近河流的地方，如果洪水问题一直都知道的话？
 
@RSCSBIB
There’s no phone service in that area, and most of rural Texas doesn’t have warning sirens.
 
那个地区没有手机信号，而且德克萨斯州的大部分农村地区没有警报系统。
 
@hourbee5535
They should consult the Dutch about proper water management!
 
他们应该向荷兰人请教如何进行适当的水管理！
 
@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.
 
长期干旱使得地面几乎无法吸收大量的降雨。雨水就这样积聚起来。德克萨斯州是一个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。这些夏令营常常被用来洗脑那些可怜的孩子，灌输整个特朗普基督教教派的思想。我有家人受到这次洪水的影响，他们回忆起1987年的洪水。那时有更多的人和高速公路。这个营地自1920年以来就存在了。我们很多人都曾被这些夏令营严重伤害过。
 
@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.
 
我为德克萨斯州的人们感到难过，但美国的做法太不一致了，他们不相信龙卷风、飓风、气旋、海啸、洪水、火灾、雪崩、地震、火山爆发和气候变化与全球变暖有关。
 
@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.
 
还有一个没有提到的因素。政府效率部门削减了物资和工作人员。德克萨斯州的当地独立预报员表示，由于天气气球数量减少以及它们提供的数据，准确预测变得更加困难。作为一名德克萨斯州人，我注意到在过去几个月里，天气预报有几次明显不准确。佛罗里达州的气象学家已经开始质疑是否会有足够的飓风猎人飞机来做出准确的预测。
 
@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.
 
每个人都必须为环境承担责任。这是我们疏忽的后果。向失去亲人的家庭表示哀悼。愿他们安息，愿上帝给予他们力量来面对悲伤和痛苦。
 
@lz1088
HMM it's almost like we all know who's at fault for this......
 
嗯，似乎我们都知道是谁的错……
 
@lz1088
was thinking a lot higher up than that but the voters certainly didn’t help letting a certain man in office
 
我想的远比这个高，但选民们确实没有帮忙，让某个人当选。
 
@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?!
 
我不知道特朗普负责在那个特定地区安装警报系统。他竟敢？！他怎么敢不警告人们不要在洪水区露营/居住？！特朗普到底在想什么？！
 
@crustymilkcap
And instead of doing anything they're just going to think and pray
 
而且他们什么都不做，就只是想着并祈祷。
 
@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.
 
在我看来，人们不得不自己搞清楚警报/疏散系统。官员们似乎不愿意花钱。就像在露营地里，知道会有强降雨的时候，至少应该有一个人夜间保持清醒。
 
@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???
 
让我震惊的是，科尔县超过75%的人投票支持特朗普。削减了NOAA、NWS和FEMA的资金，而特朗普最新的法案却为ICE提供了1700亿美元的资金。我真的为那些死去的孩子感到心痛，他们为特朗普的政策付出了最大的代价。常识告诉我们，水往低处流，而这个地区容易发生洪水（最近一次洪水发生在1987年）。当领导者拆解了那些保护我们社区安全的机构、技术和科学家时，会发生什么呢？
 
@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.
 
作为生活在美国的人，我可以告诉你，没有政治上的推诿游戏。警报已经发出，负责的人却忽视了它们。

@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?
 
德克萨斯州有最差的州长，他总是在事后出现，说些祈祷和思考的话。德克萨斯人什么时候才能说够了？
 
@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
 
州长和国会把太多的钱花在剥夺女性堕胎权、禁止书籍、以及在教室里放宗教饰品上，而不是花钱在防洪上。瓜达卢佩河已经多次发生洪水。
 
@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.
 
他们自己制造问题，洪水、龙卷风、飓风在美国并不新鲜，为什么他们表现得如此惊讶我完全无法理解。他们应该花钱建造防灾设施，但现在几十年过去了，他们依然没有进展。
 
@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!
 
在安置这些营地时动动脑子。把营地设在靠近容易发生闪洪的河流或溪流附近是愚蠢的。闪洪就是闪洪。永远关闭这些位置不当的营地！
 
@zachharper6681
Texas flash floods are just that. Recurring Flash floods in Texas. This is normal.
 
德克萨斯州的突发性洪水就是这样，德克萨斯州的突发性洪水是重复发生的。这是正常现象。
 
@jeromemanoharan7427
And it wasn’t anything to do with President Trump. Now the democrats are blaming Trump. Trying to put a good man down.
 
这和特朗普总统没有任何关系。现在民主党在把责任推给特朗普，试图抹黑一位好人。
 
@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.
 
对这些家庭来说，这是一个可怕的悲剧——深切的哀悼。至于德克萨斯州，就像德克萨斯的政客投票拒绝向蓝州提供联邦援助一样，德克萨斯也应该放弃此类援助。但当然，他们不会——这是最高级的虚伪。
 
@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.
 
到最后可能会达到300人。我住在距离科尔维尔两个小时的地方，周四早上会经过那里。不，我不会停下来看特朗普的演讲。我永远不会那样做。
 
@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，特朗普政府让我们变得如此分裂，德克萨斯人希望火灾烧毁加利福尼亚，加利福尼亚人则在德克萨斯或佛罗里达发生可以预防的灾难时感到高兴，我们为此欢呼。这必须停止！我们都是美国人。我们大多数人想要的东西差不多。特朗普是“分而治之”的大师，他让我们彼此仇恨，而他和他的好朋友们正笑着把钱赚到银行。让我们把我们的愤怒集中在当前问题的根源上。
 
@tramer76
Now that Trump and the GOP put America back 100 years in green energy and climate change tech I'm sure the storms and disasters will only get worse.
 
现在特朗普和共和党把美国在绿色能源和气候变化技术上的进步拖回了100年，我敢肯定，风暴和灾难只会变得更糟。

Trump refused to send help to California after their fires because their Democratic state.  But Texas is a Republican state so they will get whatever they want.
 
特朗普拒绝向加利福尼亚提供帮助，因为那里是民主党州。但德克萨斯是共和党州，所以他们将得到他们想要的一切。
 
@annakingry9157
Donald Trump cut all "unneccesary" services that only save people's lives.  He cares nothing for anybody, choosing instead to cut costs so he can grift more and so can the rich.
 
唐纳德·特朗普削减了所有“没有必要”的服务，这些服务本来能拯救人们的生命。他根本不关心任何人，而是选择削减开支，以便他和富人能够赚更多的钱。
 
@PapagenoNY
The storms have intensified due to climate change. But Texas and Republicans don't believe in climate change
 
风暴因气候变化而加剧。但德克萨斯州和共和党人不相信气候变化。

Regretful as the loss of life is, particularly the young people, funds are not unlimited and need to be husbanded to address greatest need, not merely short term blame game.
 
虽然失去生命，特别是年轻人，令人遗憾，但资金是有限的，需要集中用于解决最紧迫的问题，而不是单纯的短期推诿责任。
 
@journalistemon6891
When calamities strike, they whisper to mankind: return to the Creator before it’s too late. One day, all weapons will rust, and all voices of war will fall silent. Peace will finally descend on earth. May God grant comfort to the grieving and mercy to the departed souls.
 
当灾难降临时，它们在向人类低语：在为时已晚之前回归创造者。有一天，所有的武器将生锈，所有的战争声音将沉默。和平最终会降临到地球上。愿上帝给予失去亲人的安慰，赐予逝去的灵魂怜悯。

I'm sorry for Americans but honestly according to what i read in a book in meditation, this disaster occured like a karma. What Americans caused to other countries now they had to pay back. Just my opinion. Anyway, to all of those who have lost and those who sacrificed themselves to rescue other people, R.I.P. I'm from Vietnam.
 
我为美国人感到抱歉，但老实说，根据我在一本冥想书中读到的内容，这场灾难像是因果报应。美国人对其他国家造成的伤害，现在必须偿还。这只是我的观点。无论如何，愿所有失去亲人的人和那些为救助他人而牺牲的人安息。我来自越南。
