Thanks for the cite. A few posts farther up in that thread I cited two more cites to a Texas-based weather blogger. Same info, different authors:

NWS FTW.

Didn’t Trump nerf them recently? Ask Texans.

There is no evidence that the NWS cuts did anything to harm the forecasting or response in Texas from Post-Barry flooding. Too little too soon.

For sure the NWS cuts will bring widespread harm all across the country soon enough. It was a profoundly ignorant bit of royalist toddler vandalism that itself alone is grounds for immediate removal from office as manifestly unfit.

See here for some highly informed commentary on the topic of Texas flooding and NWS cuts:
