edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting
feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said Saturday it was difficult for forecasters to predict just how much rain would fall. She said the Trump administration would make it a priority to upgrade National Weather Service technology used to deliver warnings.
Sure, Kristi. I'm sure you'll say anything for headlines
During a news conference early Friday morning, Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said he didn't know why the camps hadn't been evacuated, but that the county did not have an early warning system or outdoor sirens to alert people to flooding conditions.
“We’ve looked into it before … The public reeled at the cost,” Kelly said.
Democracy, but stupid people are making your voting decisions
i have no narrative or conclusion here, just sharing a thing i found, Kelly seems maybe to be lying?
there’s record of a system being installed here. very bare in details, but only a decade ago. seems like a system could last that long right? idk it’s past my bedtime

Kerr County said the National Emergency Notification system 'CodeRED' will deliver pre-recorded, emergency telephone messages to residents that sign up.
Those emergency alerts on phones would've also worked so this systems seems redundant. With the exception of traditional telephones, this wouldn't be too useful.
