The marker on this map is at Camp Mystic on the Guadalupe River, Texas. This is where many children lost their lives in the flash flood. The dots on the map are clickable federal streamgages. Note that there are no streamgages upriver from the camp.
If there had been a federal streamgage upriver from Camp Mystic then any savvy iOS or Android developer could write an app that lets the user input the unique ID for that gage and then sound an alarm if the water level at the gage increases by a certain amount.
Here is the link to download a csv file with the most recent data from any federal streamgage:

Replace the underline with the ‘gaugelid’ value which you can get by clicking a gage on the map I posted. This ID is the first attribute value.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Saturday she plans to introduce a bill criminalizing weather modification and geoengineering, such as cloud seeding. She said her bill mirrors a recently passed Florida law imposing a $100,000 fine and five-year prison sentence for unauthorized geoengineering.
Critics argue the bill fuels conspiracy theories linking contrails to “chemtrails.” Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) mocked the proposal as an attack on science. newsfactsnetwork.com/news/gree…

Das Bild zeigt eine elegante Frau, die in einem luxuriösen Restaurant sitzt. Sie trägt eine steampunk-stylisierte Kopfbedeckung mit Uhren und eine Sonnenbrille mit gelben Rahmen. Ihre Haare sind kunstvoll hochgesteckt und mit steampunk-ähnlichen Accessoires verziert. Sie ist in ein schwarzes Kleid mit einem tiefen Ausschnitt gekleidet und trägt eine auffällige Juwelenkette mit einem Turquoisstein.
Die Frau sitzt an einem Tisch, auf dem ein Glas mit einem gelben Getränk, vermutlich Wein, und ein kleines Gebäckstück liegen. Neben ihr steht ein weiteres Glas, möglicherweise mit Champagner. Auf dem Tisch befindet sich auch ein silberner Krug, der wahrscheinlich zum Servieren von Wein oder Essig dient.
Im Hintergrund ist ein großes Uhrwerk zu sehen, das die Zeit anzeigt, und eine warme Beleuchtung, die eine gemütliche Atmosphäre schafft. Die Einrichtung des Restaurants ist elegant und klassisch, mit hohen Decken und kunstvollen Lampen. Die Farben des Bildes sind warm und einladend, mit einem dominierenden Blaugrün, das die Szene umgibt.
