The US Weather Service has taken some stick for failing to warn Texas residents about the risk of flash floods.
However, despite some serious Doge-inflicted staffing cuts, the Weather Service is still gamely trying to do its job. They have issued the following advice:
The best predictor of tomorrow’s weather is today’s weather. Fact.
If you hang up seaweed outside your house and it gets washed away, then worry.
Mackerel sky, twenty four hours dry. Mackerel on the carpet, time to evacuate.
Take extra care if you live somewhere known as Flash Flood Alley
Don’t believe everything you see on social media. Sometimes looking out the window is better.
When dew is on the grass, rain will never come to pass. When dew is on the carpet, get out the house before you cark it.
When the wind is in the East, check your insurance hasn’t ceased.
You’re never going to get rid of the smell of damp carpet.
In an emergency, get out fast, despite your urge to stay and film it all for TikTok
