Mondo, I simply read and understand what she said. She pointed local officials did not take advantage to put up a warning system, that would have costs about as much as local courthouse security. This for an area known as flash flood ally for decades.
Nearby local nearby areas with such warnings systems started first warning of possible flash flood danger by midnight and later very early morning. Such warning systems would have given time for people to leave before the floods hit

She pointed out how cuts by the National Weather Service funding has reduced staff and technology so that they are not running 24 hours as used to be normal. These are simple facts.

So you seem to be the one suffering reading comprehension disorder.
