Several parts of North Carolina were under a storm surge warning.

The Carolinas are also susceptible to potential tornadoes at this time.

On Aug.

In South Carolina, "major coastal inundation" was reported by the National Weather Service.

75% of the agency's search has been completed, but houses are coming up empty, meaning that most people chose to heed warnings and evacuate.

Trump Loyalist Russel Vought Takes Over DOGE, Vought To Lead Mass Layoffs With ‘Slash & Burn’ Agenda

Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trump’s Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGE’s early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash. #ElonMusk #RussellVought #DOGE #Trump #GovernmentEfficiency #Project2025 #ScheduleF #FederalCuts #ChristianNationalism #Tesla #SpaceX #MuskExit #VoughtAgenda #BudgetCuts #NPR #USAID #CFPB #MilitarySpending #GOP #PoliticalNews #WashingtonWatch #BureaucracyReform #TrumpAdmin #GovernmentOverhaul #WhiteHousePolicy #SpendingCuts #PolicyShift #BreakingNews #ConservativeAgenda #MuskVsVought Also Read Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Criticises Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill', A Fracture In Key Relationship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-criticises-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-a-fracture-in-key-relationship-4166667.html?ref=DMDesc SpaceX Starship Explodes Mid-Flight During Third Test, Firm Cites 'Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/spacex-starship-explodes-mid-flight-during-third-test-firm-cites-rapid-unscheduled-disassembly-4165683.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.124~

“ACT OF GOD?”: Trump Press Sec Blames God for Deadly Texas Flood Question |FEMA Funding in Spotlight

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing intense criticism after calling the deadly Texas floods—claiming over 100 lives—an “act of God.” The comment came as search and rescue efforts continued in Kerr County, where floodwaters swept through homes and Camp Mystic. Critics argue the Trump administration’s underfunding of FEMA and the National Weather Service worsened the crisis. During a press conference, reporters challenged Leavitt over delayed alerts and lack of preparedness. The backlash grows as families demand accountability for a preventable disaster. #TexasFloods #KarolineLeavitt #ActOfGod #TrumpAdministration #FEMA #NWS #FloodTragedy #BreakingNews #WeatherAlert #NaturalDisaster #WhiteHouse #FloodResponse #DisasterRelief #PublicSafety #TexasNews #EmergencyPreparedness #CampMystic #SearchAndRescue #ClimateCrisis #GuadalupeRiver #TrumpNews #LeavittBacklash #KerrCounty #WeatherWarnings #PoliticalAccountability #PressBriefing #MediaQuestioning #GovernmentResponse #ActOfGodBacklash #FloodPolitics #CrisisInTexas Also Read Trump Administration Directs California to Restrict Trans Girls from Competing in Sports Teams :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-california-trans-girls-sports-011-7783503.html?ref=DMDesc World Pride 2025 Concludes with Rally Emphasising LGBTQ+ Activism Amid Political Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/world-pride-2025-defiant-politics-display-011-4175857.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Halts New Student Visa Interviews While Considering Social Media Vetting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-halts-student-visa-interviews-social-media-vetting-011-4165557.html?ref=DMDesc

White House SHUTS DOWN ‘Fake News’ On Texas Flood Warnings | NWS Gave ‘Early Alerts’, Was ‘Fully…’ [Video]

White House SHUTS DOWN ‘Fake News’ On Texas Flood Warnings | NWS Gave ‘Early Alerts’, Was ‘Fully…’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully rebutted media reports blaming the National Weather Service (NWS) for the catastrophic Texas flooding, which left at least 82 dead. In a fiery press briefing, Leavitt dismissed claims that NWS offices were understaffed or delayed in issuing warnings. “Fake news,” she said, confirming San Angelo and San Antonio offices had full meteorologist teams—12 and 11 forecasters, respectively. She detailed that initial weather risk alerts were issued as early as July 2, with escalating warnings on July 3 and an official flood watch by 1:18 P.M. Leavitt emphasized that warnings were “early and consistent,” despite the flood striking during early morning hours. As questions swirl over the government’s disaster readiness, the White House insists the systems in place worked — and that misleading narratives must stop. The press secretary’s remarks mark a key moment in the intensifying political fallout surrounding the Texas tragedy. #TexasFloods #KarolineLeavitt #NationalWeatherService #FloodWarnings #DisasterResponse #FakeNewsAlert #PressBriefing #NWSStaffing #TexasEmergency #WhiteHouseResponse #FloodTragedy #WeatherAlert #SanAngeloWeather #SanAntonioFloods #LeavittPressConference #MediaAccountability #FEMAUpdate #BreakingNews #TexasWatch #NWSDefense ~HT.410~ED.420~
