Right, just like Texas' privatized power grid that experienced massive blackouts and outages in December 1989, February 2011, and February 2021 were all the fault of the president at the time and not the state legislature holding the companies in charge of the electrical grid infrastructure accountable for upgrades and winterization. Texas didn't totally ignore federal government recommendations to update the infrastructure to better handle severe weather for the past 40 years.

It's a flash flood. Current rainfall estimates, depending on the time window you want to define, range between 11 and 20 inches of rain in the span of few hours, which concentrated in a river and caused a rise of over 25 feet. For comparison that deeper than most portions of the Los Angeles river, which is one of the most heavily modified and managed non-shipping waterways in the nation. Let that sink in. Not even California has the infrastructure to handle that. And you still want to blame a single member of the federal government for literal decades of a state's refusal to act upon federal recommendations?
