The dining hall is in the foreground. It looks like they partially covered the tennis courts. The cluster of buildings towards the NW/4 of the photo are the girls cabins. They are shown better in the screen shot below. I deleted the NY Times words and added my own. My updated screen shot based on information in this thread. (Same disclaimer, relying on Google Earth and info in this thread.) The map is inverted to match the pictures above. Up on the screen shot is facing almost due south. The orange polygon is the 1850' and below asl elevation, the older part of Camp Mystic that is the lower elevation. The South Fork of the Guadalupe River flows right to left along the bottom of the screen shot, with Cypress Creek entering from the top. Zoomed in w/o the 1850' polygon. All of the house icons are the girls cabins, I think. If the younger girls were in the cabin closest to the river (in elevation), that would be "Twins 1 & 2". These are the only cabins at or below the 1850' above sea level (asl) elevation, 20-25' higher than the normal river level, and ~ 370 ' from waters edge. The "Bug House" cabin is closer to the river, and the road and all the cabins in a line are higher than 1850' asl, +25' above waters edge. The "Twins 1&2" cabins are within sight of the office, adjacent to the other cabins, and close to the dining hall & rec center, all of which seem reasonable. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be an easy way to run uphill. It is hard to imagine the water rising that quickly, that there was not enough time to evacuate safely. So sad.

He swings as if his strike zone is around 5'9
-
Anyone have video of that?
-
I honestly don’t think that’s true. I’m not going to praise Rick Perry but he’s a real person with core values and cares about outcomes. Greg Abbott has a hole inside he has tried to fill by getting to the next thing. They are different.

If "she" is really a "she" or a "he," it's Canadian, for God's sake.

Crazy time lapse....

It is a redumass treadmill of rallying for what is best for owning someone. Own the libs until your own kids are dead. Good job! Keep fucking that chicken you regards. Science is bad because it doesn't support my compromised world view. Ban me. I dont fucking care at this point This shit directly hit fucking home. I strive to avoid hate but here we are. Children deserve better.

NBA Offseason Thread 2025 - Fuck OKC

Not sure I see 30 minutes and 20 shots a game for Whitmore in DC. They just drafted Tre, and Middleton, Poole, McCollum are going to get theirs no matter what. -
Ohtani threw 31 pitches to get through 2 innings, that guy threw 32 to get through 1. Let's hope they bring him out again against the bottom the lineup in the 4th

Short answer, yes. Given the increase in extreme precipitation I am actually concerned that our PMP (probable maximum precipitation) models are likely to be undersized. Not to be flippant but those could affect hundreds of thousands instead of hundreds of people. A PMF (probable maximum flood) is used to evaluate dam safety. If the PMF is not sufficiently conservative, the spillway will be undersized. Then a lot of people would be at risk. Lake Travis, thank goodness, is protected by a dam that is so over designed I don't think there is much risk (and if it ever reaches flood stage it's game over anyway).

The stupid burns!
-
32 pitches for wrobleski. we’re gonna be deeeeep in to their bullpen by the end of this one which should also things up well for tomorrow
-
Fun movie. Senna on Netflix is also really good.
-
Walker for Freeman straight up. Make LA say no.
-
Was that the, "But it was only sprinkling" response?
-
Yeah it seems the message was delivered by NWS/NOAA and in time. You can quibble about whether it was "serious" enough, as if predictions of 4-8" when 10+ came would have really made much difference. It did say "life-threatening flash flooding events." The message didn't get out and wasn't heeded.
-
Fuck yes!! What an inning! Walker trying to totally redeem himself from his horrid start to the season
-
Walker is amazing at this park
-
Agreed. The KSAT guy asked a real question and the state official immediately threw the Kerr County Judge under the bus.
-
An extremely reasonable post for Surly! Kudos.
-
Boo altuve but cheer mookie. Fans are dumb
-
I was just thinking that for such an iconic franchise, they are truly embarrassing.

I'm not sorry your kid died, you probably voted the wrong way is a winning strategy. That's a take.
