I can appreciate that, but it does not change the facts that took place leading up to and during the flood - the role that NWS forecasting played in flood prevention efforts. I do believe that the NWS has gotten a free pass - unfortunately. As point of view, the houses that I was sand bagging wall at was never breached, but the house was flooded because of failures in other places. One of many reminders during my lifetime about how government doesn't always work - but they sure do love to tell you how they do.
