Q: Is it true that if President Donald Trump hadn’t defunded the National Weather Service, the death toll in the Texas flooding would have been far lower or nonexistent? A: The Trump administration did not defund the NWS but did reduce the staff by 600 people.
The National Weather Service says Flash Flood Warnings were issued on July 3 and early July 4 in Texas, giving more than three hours of warning.
