Consider This from NPR - Flooding is common in Texas Hill Country. This was different
Imagine standing in water shallow enough to just barely hit the soles of your feet. And then it rises so fast that in just about ten minutes, it's up to your neck. That's how fast the Guadalupe River in Texas rose last week, according to state officials.
Twenty-six feet in less than an hour.
That flooding left dozens dead, devastated homes and businesses. Officials, emergency crews and volunteers are hoping more survivors will be found. But in a press conference today, officials warned the death toll will continue to rise.
In the Texas Hill Country, climate change and geography conspired to create one of the worst floods in generations.

The Gist - The Un “Fudge” America Tour Gets “Fudged” From Within
Zee Cohen-Sanchez, a Bernie Sanders campaign veteran, launched “Un**** America” (we're going with Unfudge America) to counter Charlie Kirk’s influence on college campuses. But internal drama and performative purity politics quickly sabotaged the project. She recounts how influencer apologies empowered whiny critics and fractured the left’s ability to wield electoral power. Plus, with nearly 100 dead from the Texas floods, we examine the explanations. Climate change likely played a role, but history, geography, and neglected hydrology account for just as much—and the reflexive invocation of climate alone can obscure other actionable causes.

Newshour - Trump and Netanyahu meet to discuss Gaza ceasefire
After 21 months of war, there are growing hopes of a new Gaza ceasefire announcement as Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets US President Donald Trump in Washington. Trump previously told reporters he had been "very firm" with Netanyahu about ending the conflict and that he thought "we'll have a deal" this week. Also on the programme, Kenyan officials say eleven people have been shot dead during big anti-government protests; and, a teenage boy has become the youngest person to swim the North Channel route - between Northern Ireland and Scotland.
