  1. Which part of the first sentence, of the first post I made about this, are you not quite understanding? "I know no one wants to say it right now, but the people that own and operate the camps hold a lot of responsibility here."
  2. So you are saying they were just completely negligent? As I also stated in one of my replies to you.
  3. Cross posting as to leave the rains thread to be about rain. https://www.sacurrent.com/news/camp-mystic-leader-waited-an-hour-to-evacuate-campers-after-receiving-alert-about-central-texas-flooding-37982314?fbclid=IwY2xjawLkibtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF3ZUk2VkJrTm1pNmt0NWtVAR4VsE_vvDUMbR8M5o1DxSzC7SQgduZslCZ7bMPupj3V2R-VGHAGEiL_7dKp7g_aem_liMX61VGp7l5XkN0clbycA
  4. Just snapped this screenshot (7:27 AM). Hydromet shows the lake to be at 670.67. There seems to be the tiniest sliver of Sometimes Island way in the back, so MIA's thought that it was 671' when they disappear seems to be the winner.
  5. Just announced a fourth gate opening at Buch dam
  6. For some reason, 668' is in my head. But there is also a lot of bourbon and vodka in my head.
  7. Part of Berry Creek in Georgetown runs through the back part of my lot, but I am 30-35 feet up a steep hill/cliff. I went out and looked at the creek at about 9:30 this morning and it was dry, as it usually is. By 11 am it was flowing at about 60 yards wide at a not quite record flow, but pretty close.
  8. Listen, dude. I get it. You’re mad. But the reports say these girls woke up to chest deep water. If anyone was monitoring it, then why the fuck did they wait to react? This will be my last response to this ridiculous argument.
  9. How hard is this? If they had someone monitoring the situation properly and an evac plan and thus is the outcome, you could then only pin it on negligence.
  10. I’m actually not even sure what you are trying to argue.
  11. What do you even mean? If they had started following the news when the NWS, Austin and San Antonio Mets were calling it out multiple hours in advance, we would not be having this conversation.
  12. I know no one wants to say it right now, but the people that own and operate the camps hold a lot of responsibility here. If you’re hosting that many children, at a site that close to a flood prone river, you should have at least one person on staff monitoring this 24/7, and a well established and trained evac plan.
  13. Evacuations happening in Georgetown along the San Gabriel River through downtown. Crazy video out there.
