A creepy warning made by a Florida meteorist last month has resurfaced as a result of Texas devastating flash floods.
John Morales, a veteran NBC 6 meteorologist 6 to the south Moldytold viewers in the air at the beginning of last month than the quality of weather Forecasts are ‘degrading’ because of Donald Trump’s budget cuts. He admitted that he would not be able to do his job as well as he did last year.

Florida Forecaster drops Trump’s’ Sledgehammer Attack to Science
During a forecast on June 2, Morales recalled its forecasts for the hurricane Dorian, who devastated the Bahamas in 2019 and seemed to go directly to Florida. Morales said that at that time he was able to say that viewers would divert from the state.
“I’m here to say -I am not sure this year,” he said. “Due to the cuts, the gut, the Sledgehammer attack on science in general.”
Morales warned that the Trump administration’s budget cuts would have a “multigenerational impact on science in this country” and will directly difficult their work due to the reduction of hundreds of jobs at the National Meteorological Service and the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
“Did you know that currently the National Meteorological Services Offices of Central and South Florida are currently between 20% and 40%, from Tampa to Key West?” Said Morales. “This type of shortage of staff has impacts across the country because there has been a reduction of almost 20% on the Meteorological Globe launches, the launches … What we begin to see is that the quality of the forecast is degrading.”
Forcecasters as Morales are based on federal scientists and data collected from sources that include satellites, meteorological balloons launches, and aircraft surveys. But Morales also warned viewers that “Hurricane Hunter” aircraft could not fly this year and “with less recognition, maybe we will be flying blind and maybe we don’t know exactly how hard is a hurricane before it reaches the coast.”
Texas officials explore the crushed national meteorological service after flash historical floods
A month later, Texas officials said that the National Meteorological Service (NWS) did not precisely predict a flash flood that has devastated the state.
The destructive and moving waters rapidly increased 26 meters to the Guadalupe River in just 45 minutes before Friday of the day, washing houses and vehicles. The Kerr County flood killed at least 43 people, including 15 children, and at least eight people died in the nearby counties.
At least 27 girls have not been seen since their summer camp was hit with a water wall. While the NWS issued a wide clock for the area on Thursday, Texas Emergency Management Division Nim Kidd told journalists during a press conference on Friday that “the amount of rain that fell in this specific location was never in any of these forecasts.”
The NWS had planned 3-6 inches of rain for the Concho valley and 4-8 inches for the hill. “Listen, everyone obtained the forecast of the National Meteorological Service,” Kidd said. “You all have it; you are all in the media. You have this forecast. You did not predict how much rain we saw.”
The manager of the city of Kerville, Dalton Rice, said during the press conference that the storm “turned more rain than expected” in two forks of the Guadalupe River. Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly also told CBS News: “We had no reason to believe that this was nothing like what happened here. There is nothing.”
Since January, the NWS has cut about 600 members of the staff in direct orders by the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) as part of Trump’s mission to reduce numerous federal agencies. Scientists specializing in climate and weather forecasts were among many of the fired employees.
Representative Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), The Member of the Ranking of the Chamber’s Natural Resource Committee, was among those who warned of the fatal consequences of the cuts.
“National people depend on Noaa for free and precise forecasts, severe weather alerts and emergency information,” said Huffman. “Purging the government of scientists, experts and career officials and the fundamental programs of the career will cost lives.”
Flash flood risk as a Tropical Storm Cantal to get
The warnings also occur when the Hurricane season climbs to the United States. In Florida, forecasts had been monitored by a system that they warned that they could become a tropical storm and affect the sun.
Depression was strengthened at the Tropical Chantal storm on Saturday morning, but now it is monitored elsewhere. The National Hurricane Center of Miami forecast Chantal to fall between Charleston, South Carolina and Cape FEAR, North Carolina, early on Sunday morning.
According to forecasts, the storm is expected to go north -east Sunday night and the Chantal center is expected to move along the South Carolina coast that day.
Hurricane Center proposed concern for Flash floods in South Caroline on Saturday night.
