  1. Brisket, I typically agree with you. And I get your point. But I’d bet balls to a barn dance that there were a fuckton of undocumented folks out there distributing food. My point was that for a brief moment/couple of days, it didn’t matter. There was a common goal, to help, and everything else went out the window. At least that’s how I perceived it. Maybe I was just too fucking tired.
  2. Fuck that piece of shit.
  3. https://www.facebook.com/share/1Af6kv5T2L/?mibextid=wwXIfr I’ve met this kid out at the skatepark. He’d go after work, bringing Gatorades for everyone, and teaching kids like my son how to skate. Salt of the fucking earth.
  4. I’m pretty sure it’s me you’re talking about. Not verbatim, but close. I got word from someone close to the responders. Only to find out that it wasn’t true later. I apologized.
  5. One thing I meant to mention was the amount of support I observed driving my trailer from Comfort to Ingram. You cannot go a quarter mile without a smoker billowing, Webbers, pop tents, coolers full of tamales, etc. All just good people, strangers and residents alike, just trying to help. Each and everyone one of these places had someone waving a sign that said, “FREE FOOD AND WATER”. No questions, no nothing. Just please allow us to help in our own way. I almost had to pull over. It’s fucking dusty right now just typing this out.
  6. I’m watching Rounders.
  7. Taken from my backyard in Kerrville just now. Eerily quiet, but it’s the first time I’ve seen the sun since Wednesday.
  8. We found plenty. But I’m not taking pics of dead pets or livestock. I’m not going to take pictures of dead anything.
  9. The two girls found in a tree phone call I received was from a friend who I’d been working with since about 7am. When he and I split up, he stayed there and waited for his brother (first responder). I relayed what he told me, via his brother. I asked him for confirmation, and he told me to hang tight. That’s when I posted. The link in the post that I copied went hand in hand with what I’d heard, but I’d not yet confirmed. I made the mistake of thinking that link was the confirmation needed. Now, it’s untrue. I don’t know how a game of telephone can get that fucked up with as close as I was from the source, but it did. And I can’t apologize enough. I’ll continue to post what I see first hand from here on out. Take it for what it’s worth. I guess I got too overwhelmed with some good news for the first time in three days.
  10. I just got home. The search teams down from my house were still active, but it’s starting to rain again. A couple Chinooks are thumping up river towards Hunt.
  11. These are the ones I was referring to. They were found on Lane Valley Rd. If they’re Mystic girls, that’s approximately 20 miles. I was just turned around at Ingram Dam, driving my trailer out to Hunt. Probably already been posted, but they’re getting everyone out again due to another wall of water warning.
  12. I posted what I heard. I promise to post any news as soon as I get it. I’m heading to Comfort to pick up a trailer, so I’ll probably be out of pocket for a little while.
  13. According to one of the guys I was with in Centerpoint this morning, they found two girls alive about 3/4 mile from where we were searching. That’s all I know and all I heard. I’m desperately trying to confirm.
  14. Comfort seems like a good staging area given that it’s close enough to Kerrville, and at the same time, is far enough away as to not step on first responder toes.
  15. I just got word that Dick Eastland, the owner of Camp Mystic, is among the deceased.
  16. That’s UGRA Dam. The water treatment plant in the center of Kerrville.
  17. One of my best friend’s daughters are there with their grandmother. They, along with others, are on the second floor, and safe. Waiting for evacuation
  18. Let’s call it a general, yes. And call it even.
  19. God damnit. God damnit.
  20. Hawks are back up. I’m reaching out to everyone I know (trustworthy third party) folks to see if I can get any information. I’m not going to reach out to the Mystic family, because, they’re doing any and everything in their power to make sure that everyone is safe. Trust me. My sources are firefighters and sheriffs that I know personally, who are boots on the ground. I had to leave because I’d done all I technically could. But they thanked me for trying/helping. They’re talking to me from Hunt, Ingram, and Kerrville proper. I can’t promise anything other than to try and get info.
  21. I thought I cropped myself out of the pic. Fuck. Now everyone knows that I’m Adonis. Another C-130 just went in on final. I’m not sure if it’s not the same airplane. The ceiling is still extremely low, and I’ve heard other fixed wing planes coming in for the last hour on the reg.
  22. You and I probably know each other. Or at least fought at Crider’s once.
  23. It’s a dam. And it broke. UGRA dam, in the center of town is the only dam down river, and that’s where the water treatment plant is. The dam after that, is the one within eyeshot from my house. And yes, sliding down Ingram Dam is a past time. If you couldn’t do it all the way down on your feet, you were a fucking tourist.
