Much of what made the camp special also put it at heightened risk as the river rose to record levels, a Post investigation found.

The thing about flash floods is you need to move before the flood reaches you. Being aware of it doesn’t do much good if you don’t.

    I live how more and more news outlets are blaming the victims and the camp instead of trump firing a ton of people which directly caused all the delays

      I saw a post that the owners of the camp removed it from flood zone maps, so they didn’t have to pay extra flood insurance. Due to this they didn’t receive adequate warning.

      If this is true then how does that not make the camp owners at least somewhat at fault?

      This doesn’t absolve trump either, more than one party can be at fault.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if that was some sort of loophole created by deregulation though. They are still horrible too for taking advantage of it if that is the case.
