I’m not always in agreement with Roger Pielke of the Honest Broker, but certainly do in this case:
This tragedy occurred in a location that has among the greatest risks in the nation of flash flooding, where kids in summer camps have previously been swept away to their deaths, and where warning systems are (apparently and incredibly) not in place. This tragedy never should have happened and it should never happen again.
If there was ever an issue where politicians should come together to take action to ensure that this type of tragedy never happens again — This is it.
It will be valuable to understand how decisions are made if there is rebuilding in the areas where devastation took place. Should never be allowed.
