  1. My mom found out from a friend that a young woman named Corrie from Louisiana Tech who is a camp counselor at Mystic is missing. This is legit touching all of us on many levels.
  2. Link to how we can help and what is needed thread: also place for any updates
  3. Thank you! 🙏🏼 I can only speak for the two sets of parents my cousins know who have missing 8 year olds but if any names of those rescued are learned these loved ones merely want updates. my cousin’s husband is a sheriff in a neighboring county so I am also getting updates and I will post anything I learn (besides names of those found deceased.) is there a way we can start a surly fundraiser?
  4. The 8 summers I went to camp once the final field day was over and awards and tribal winner announced we always ate at Mamacita’s. like many of you I am having a hard time processing all of this. Praying hard and hoping for the best right now is all we can do. Until we are able to help in a more meaningful way. This fucking sucks.
  5. I think we were waiting on Black cat to start one as he posted a bit ago he was an hour out of town. Has a kid at La Junta but maybe Homesick can start one or one of the other local Surlies. That way we can have a thread solely dedicated to getting updates and resources and help for Kerr County.
  6. I am grateful the blackhawks are equipped with FLIR. Grateful for all the first responders doing heroic things right now and all the volunteers and other groups. I feel that tiny glimmer of hope that quite a few of the missing are ok and just waiting to be found or extracted. This is still very much a rescue operation and praying for the weather to cooperate a bit. My youngest cousin is with her friend (the aunt) of one of the missing little girls and they are desperate for any updates and I keep praying for any good news for them.
  7. Thank you so much. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹
  8. The second link—the time elapse video is crazy. Here is Avery’s tweet for it also. I mean just unfathomable.
  9. Do we have any word on the names of those four little girls found together waiting to be rescued?
  10. Should be the new slogan honestly. 🤘🏼 also should those in the area/on the ground go ahead and start a separate thread now for updates, requests for help and such before black cat gets there and sets up. I know he said he was going to start one. Or should we just wait?
  11. Oh shit. Huge favorite of mine. Damnit. RIP 🌹🌹🌹 It is I suppose an odd coincidence that both he and Shannen Dougherty were on Charmed together. In real life they hooked up even though their characters on Charmed did not. he was pretty much imo amazing in everything he did. Damn.
  12. Young Noble, member of Outlawz rap group and worked with Tupac, dead by suicide at age 47. RIP 🌹 https://www.tmz.com/2025/07/04/outlawz-member-young-noble-dead/
  13. Had not seen this one posted SIAP. 😢
  14. With all the tragedy from this one the rivers better bust that lake’s ass.
  15. Thank you! ❤️‍🩹 that would be great, and if people need anything help wise also. Be safe! Godspeed!
  16. SIAP: RIP 🌹 “Kenneth Colley, the acclaimed English actor best known for his role as Admiral Piett in the Star Wars saga, has died at the age of 87. He had contracted Covid and developed pneumonia, his agent confirmed. Colley was a prominent figure in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, portraying the imperial officer who commanded Darth Vader’s flagship.”
  17. Jane was an amazing lady. RIP. 🌹 an honor to know someone that wonderful.
  18. That is the best word for it. unfathomable. Can’t have said it better, 😢 I need a cry emoji reaction. This is where I wish I had the smarts to come up with something that would give people at least a few minutes. I’d take 5 mins over nothing. But i doubt anything could give you the requisite amount of time to get clear a coming a wall of water like that. Nothing. I feel so defeated. 😞
  19. I do hope they continue to develop warnings for flooding. Sirens 🚨 and all the bells and whistles. I just don’t know how you combat this below shared graphic but I guess you have to think of it like a tornado warning. So to speak, you have minutes to move.
  20. You can also watch presser live on Fox 7 in Austin area also which I am watching. gonna try to see what I can do to help volunteer somehow. presser is saying they are still actively rescuing. Not quite at recovery mode yet. About the only good news at all.
  21. painful stuff below. Warning… Two of the parents of the missing girls have ok’d this post on FB (I didn’t post it) or I would not post at all or even spoiler it. but that’s how I know there are at least 3 kids confirmed missing at this point. My youngest cousin told me the name and it’s neither of these two cuties we all pray are alive below. Keep thoughts and prayers high as you can. this is a gut punch 🥊 🙏🏼 📿
  22. So my two girl cousins who live in Houston and are sisters each know a different missing child. I don’t want to think it’s more than just the two whose names have been circulating but any child missing is too many. One is the daughter of my eldest cousin’s sorority sister, the other is the niece of my youngest cousin’s sorority sister. This is too much. The aunt of one of the missing little girls came to my aunt and uncle’s funerals (my cousins parents died 3 months apart- he from a heart attack and she from early onset dementia) in 2023. so by my count at least now 3 missing confirmed with no answers as of yet. Damnit.
  23. Nice. I was a Comanche. The coolest thing there outside of canoeing (war canoe) was being taught to ride horses by Connie Reeves (a fucking legend who is in the Texas Cowgirl museum. HOF level lady) she was still there when I was a counselor teaching riding, and she passed away at 101 after a fall from her favorite horse Dr Pepper. 🌶️ Me riding in quadrille (teaching horses how to dance basically) on my favorite horse Gunsmoke. That fucker was fast and if I could have stolen and kept him I would have. He’s the handsome fella with tan and black mane and tail in the middle.
  24. What a brave badass counselor. Glad the littles did as they were told. I taught swimming to the 8 year olds in the Guadeloupe and I’m impressed with those campers in that situation. Scariest thing ever to happen was a water moccasin swimming under the pier right at them and I told them (bc they did not see the snake coming at them) to race each other to the other pier. Snake went under the pier under me and down an embankment thing. Kids never knew. It is hard to fathom all this shit. Sorry for rambling. This hits really close to home. I should take a break and only post if I hear anything news worthy.
  25. Damnit. So that’s two kids for certain as my cousin like me is a Kappa Delta so damnit. At least two still don’t know the fate of their babies. Damn. When I was a counselor at Waldemar I was 19 and we had the kids for 5 weeks basically. The whole month. My cabin was all 8 year olds and one 7 year old who came with a broken arm. I cannot fathom waking up in the middle of the night to this. 7 girls per cabin and one counselor. Counselors are mostly but not all around the same age I was then.
