    What is your point?  Honest question. 

    Well, for one, that’s not the camp that flooded. Two, your point was “look how close those cabins are to the dam” and the body of water in your picture is not the Guadalupe River. Three, the Cypress Lake camp did not flood. It’s where they evacuated everyone to because it remained safe.

    I got my boy out from La Junta. As far as I can tell the whole camp got to high ground well in advance of the bad stuff and watched the camp get obliterated. My son is 8 and they took the younger kids to the backside facing away from the camp and river and did a bunch of games and songs etc. One of the first things he said to me was he asked if they’re still doing the fireworks tonight. I love that camp. 
     

     

    I’m so happy for you and your family. The counselors and staff at La Junta were heroic.

    This one yes. By the time the food is needed it will be solved. And he get 3.50 from me. But on this one? Nah. 

    We have brother and sisters on the ground. Go Direct. Shit, HEB will beat USAA, State Farm and the National Guard there. 

     

    My brother, please understand that people are trying to help however they can. You are an angel that you can help directly. Not everyone can be boots on the ground. Donating money to an organization like WCK will provide meals to hungry victims and relief workers. Let’s be careful to not crap on those trying to help.

    My 7yo daughter’s good friend and fellow classmate is one of those missing from mystic. I don’t know how to break the news to her that this happened but I truly can’t imagine how her parents are dealing with this tragedy. Good God.

    We just have to hope they’re safe on higher ground and the search and rescue pilots rescue them.

    I hate to go there but… Mystic‘s buildings are very low laying. Between the road and the river. There’s no hill, maybe a slight rise. Their neighbor Mo Ranch has their girls’ dorm on top of a hill. I get it. Walking up a hill a couple times a days a bitch, but there’s precedent for putting buildings up high. 

    Too soon, bro.

    Saw a white American lady, dressed up like Uncle Sam as a pimp, getting her nails done by an East Asian guy in Bath, England today.

    Did you see the name? 👆

    She seemed to be peacocking America’s independence.

    I have a British buddy that just moved to the US recently. On a group text thread that he’s on, I sent “Happy Independence Day to those who celebrate!”

    It feels like you post this every time a natural disaster like this occurs, and I see it elsewhere, and people still can't seem to learn the lesson.

    They have an excellent marketing team which, in and of itself, should tell people something.

    You are done with this thread or you will take a ban. 

    I’ve contributed a bunch to this thread. I was the first person to post about the summer camps and have added a bunch of content related to it.

    I'll keep this comment out of the DT "Thread of the Rains," but I have a feeling lots of red voters in those hill country counties are gonna realize that Trump's FEMA and federal government assistance in general for the recovery effort will be suboptimal.

    I guess Abbott will have to bust out the checkbook.

    They will absolutely not realize that. They will 100% blame Biden.

    In addition to people I worry about all the horses. At Waldemar you have like 50-75 horses and I’m guessing the other camps have quite a few as well. 
     

    this is like nightmare scenario tropical shit hurricane size storm that won’t move. And it’s not like it appears to get any better in some places the next day or so. 

    Yeah, I had the same thought about all the horses. Didn’t post it because human life is more important, but I worry a bunch won’t survive.

    I don’t know what you’re on about. We have a good friend that went to Waldemar. Her daughter was my daughter’s counselor. Her son is a counselor at La Junta, and a Longhorn. He spent the evening fishing boys out of cabins. He confirmed that video was La Junta. 

    Two hours ago you were sure it was Mystic and now you’re sure it’s La Junta. Quit posting unsubstantiated information, Rex.
