Kay Granger's Weather Radio Solution To Texas Flash Flood Deaths

You can become a Facebook Fan of Fort Worth's Loopy Congresswoman, Kay Granger. If you become a Fan you can read Congresswoman Granger's Loopy Notes.

Yesterday I blogged about Kay Granger and how she is very concerned with fixing a flooding problem that does not exist, while not concerning herself with a flooding problem that does exist.

Well, my #1 researcher, Elsie Hotpepper, discovered in Kay Granger's Facebook Notes a note where Ms. Granger verbalized her deep concern regarding the Haltom City flooding problem that I said she does not concern herself with. Granger even mentioned the devastating death of Alexandria Collins caused by a Haltom City Fossil Creek flash flood.

That Haltom City flash flood happened without warning. There had been little rain in Haltom City. But, north of Haltom City, in the town of Keller area, 5 inches of the wet stuff had fallen in a very short time, overwhelming the inadequate drainage system and sending a wall of water death towards Haltom City.

So, what does Fort Worth's loopy Congresswoman propose as a fix? Mandating that weather radios be installed in new trailers. I'm not making this up, you can read all about this loopy woman's loopy nonsensical nonsense, including saying, "About 100 mobile homes were impacted by the storms because there was not enough time for residents to know what was happening and to prepare for the coming disaster."

Oh, yes, of course, those weather radios would have told those people in their Haltom City trailers that it was raining hard in Keller and this is sending a disaster your way, so, get yourself to higher ground.

In 2007 flooding led to the deaths of 11 people in Haltom City. Yesterday, the House passed my legislation that will ensure tragedies like this will be prevented in the future. Please read my statement I submitted for the record:

Madam Speaker, as the House considers H.R. 320, “CJ’s Home Protection Act,” I encourage my colleagues to support its passage. As a cosponsor of this bill, I believe it is important to reflect back on why this legislation is crucial to saving lives in our communities.

In June 2007, devastating storms, tornadoes and flooding hit my district over a few days’ time and left large amounts of property damaged and displaced thousands of families. Tragically, the flooding also took the lives 11 individuals and injured others.

At Skyline Mobile Home Estates in Haltom City, I met with Haltom City Mayor Bill Lanford after the floods to see the damage and to also meet with local residents. About 100 mobile homes were impacted by the storms because there was not enough time for residents to know what was happening and to prepare for the coming disaster.

One of the most devastating impacts to this community was the death of 4-year-old Alexandria Collins. She was torn from her mother’s grasp by the water’s current as they fled to a neighbor’s boat.

CJ’s Home Protection bill requires that NOAA weather radios be installed in new mobile homes as they are being manufactured in order for residents to receive emergency broadcasting information and alerts. This bill will help save lives during emergency situations by providing people with the time and the information they need to take care of themselves and their families.

Thank you, and I urge the House to pass this legislation.
