- Past hour

We have no idea yet what happened in the camp in those hours and what they knew; it’s far too early to make them the primary point of failure and there will have been multiple points.
-
Yeah 100 year floods happening all over the place. Wimberley was a 100 year flood too.
-
My mom is house sitting for us and can’t take a pic for shit or I’d show venture point island disappearing still might later today. Terrible pics and such a great opportunity to time lapse.

The only thing about the cell phone emergency system is the tendency now for people to shut that off themselves like I have because of the way it’s used for things like Amber or Silver Alerts. I’m not sure it was a good idea for the Emergency Alert System to be used for this in retrospect. There is nothing close to giving a person a heart attack or a step rise in blood pressure than having that alarm go off at four in the morning and find out it was missing persons report at the opposite end of the state. Please don’t take that as me minimizing that sort of event. What might be a good alternative moving forward is some sort of direct alerts that are transmitted directly to the camps and other interest along the rivers facilitated though the emergency management agencies. Make sure it gets to multiple people in charge of the facilities with the information updated every year before the peak season.

No one is stopping anyone from making threads. I didn't delete anything yesterday and the conversation wasn't stifled of even impacted based on the move of about 3 pages of posts that were clearly easily a standalone topic. Its not hard to find threads.

100 year floods that seem to happen every couple of years. This is the ultimate Tim Robinson in the banana guy costume gif. They don't care. Time to cover their own asses and make sure they kiss Trump's ass. It's not their kids dying.

Again, you have 700 little girls (or boys) that close to a flood prone river and known remnants of a tropical storm parking over the hill country you are up at 1am. Weather radio, local tv, Facebook, shit man, you get that warning 3 times in 10 minutes. You wake everyone up, you call 911 and ask for help and you get shit moving. Last three feet is the camp’s fault here 100%. A cell phone wake up at 1am woulda been nice but that’s for families and RVers etc, you have 700 little girls entrusted to you, you are the warning system.

I'm not real sure

I have no issue with Facebook rollouts it’s both and though. Reality is the state has billions in surpluses and fatality risk in the hill country from flash floods is arguably the worst in the country. Instead of solving problems and creating a robust warning system for the hill country, the state is busy trying to exile the bad evil trannies. We know it’s working we know they can do things they set their minds too but nah, welfare of the people isn’t important. instead these assholes cosplay with Boy Scout uniforms at press conferences, congratulate each other, cover up facts, and call for days of prayer. They mislead and mistreat the good people that they have under their spell. It’s fucking gross.

Good job asking for it in the style of Manga/anime. It's accurate and totally kawaii!!
-
The last three feet to the audience are always the most critical and most difficult. If you’re not on Facebook at 2AM, then a Facebook or Twitter post doesn’t help you. Radio is the gold standard.

SIAP but this is just one piece of the puzzle in this unfathomable weather tragedy. From The NY Times: In an interview, Rob Kelly, the Kerr County judge and its most senior elected official, said the county did not have a warning system because such systems are expensive, and local residents are resistant to new spending. “Taxpayers won’t pay for it,” Mr. Kelly said. Asked if people might reconsider in light of the catastrophe, he said, “I don’t know.” —————————— Kelly is the individual who early on Friday said all Mystic campers were accounted for.

I think the reality is we've all depended on and trusted in a governmental and societal infrastructure that is quickly dissipating, even with the technological advancements through the years. We're gonna have to make more decisions on our own.

Here comes the rain.
-
Hey, I'm just glad Powers and Dodds didn't move us to the Pac-12 back in the day.
-
How are you still alive?
-
Because we had a weather thread, the weather event is over and now we have morphed this into a girls are dead thread. They aren’t the same.
-
I know a few. Like platypus, they do exist.
-
Gonna be interesting for sure. I’m all in favor of chaos.
-
Those teams that went to slicks pre-race screwed up. All the early yellows take away any advantage before more rain moves in.

Happened in yesterday and picked up some Cherry Garcia and the fancy mint chocolate chip gelato
