Sirens, Silence and the Soggy Truth

When Texas floods, we send thoughts, prayers… and untrained teenagers in Crocs?

This week on the Old Enough To Know Better podcast, host E. G. Weiss will take you straight back to the Hill Country, where more than 150 people remain missing and the search is becoming recovery. But make no mistake: this tragedy isn't just about nature. It's about neglect, leadership failure, and a system that sent alerts after the bodies were already floating.

Break down the six-hour delay in Kerr County’s emergency alerts.
Unpack why FEMA’s maps failed again and how lives were lost because of it.
Take a hard (and sarcastic) look at the arrival of well-meaning volunteers who have no training, no PPE, and no clue what flood debris really is.

This episode exposes the absurdity of our current disaster response model and the insanity of denying skilled help while inviting Instagram missionaries into the wreckage.

For responders, volunteers, emergency managers, and anyone who wants to stop pretending everything’s fine; it’s time to face some ugly truths.
