  1. Was just in the car for a bit and listened on FOX for about 5 minutes. The lying and distraction is strong. The two big nuggets I heard in that brief time were (1) Nothing like this has ever happened before, and (2) the Federal response was immediate and perfect.
  2. Texas Monthly. Litigation - even expensive litigation - ending 13-14 years ago, should not be a factor in this tragedy. Certainly, no impact on government failures. And, hard to imagine it prevented them from staying up and remaining plugged in, posting a watchman, etc. on a night that called for it.
  3. Search of Kerr County District Court cases - nothing recent or active.
  4. The stories are endless. Here is just one of those coming across my social media feeds:
  5. Maybe I was not clear, but this misses the point. Highest all time refers to the high point. What about the lower elevations that HAVE flooded in the past. How many of those killed were at those lower elevations, and were not killed by historic flood levels? Simply saying this was unprecedented is a cop out.
  6. But, were those closest to the river, like the Mystic cabin swept away, higher than the 1987 flood? We may not yet know the details, but there is zero question that some lives were lost due to negligence.
  7. Daughter is first year counselor at a camp she attended as a camper for many years. All connected devises are banned for campers. Conversely, staff are REQUIRED to have their phone on them at all times.
  8. This is true. It is also true that this weather event underscores the stupidity of DOGE related cuts, as well as the more recent decision to end sharing of military weather data with civilian agencies and the private sector. The information that was available (and ignored) this time, may not be available next time.
  9. And, nausea/vomit emoji.... Gutted!
  10. lawsuits > bankruptcy > land sold to real estate speculator/developer....
  11. Great advice, which I have accepted for April 2026. Looking forward to it!
  12. Gift wrapped invitation With a fucking bow!
  13. Total ban on marketing and sale of e-cigarettes (broadly defined) containing “any cannabinoids, alcohol, kratom, kava, mushrooms, tianeptine, or any derivatives of those substances.”
  14. Will be about 2 hours away for a family reunion that weekend. If I can score tickets, I (and tOSU in-law) will be there.
