  10. for avoidance of doubt, the maya were in mexico and central america, not in the amazon or south america
  11. for avoidance of doubt, the Country of Texas Fisher-Miler land grant was sold to the Adelsverein in 1842 the upper Guadalupe was first settled sometime between 1851 and 1856 this is the 1847 Adelsverein map of Texas: this is a link to the 1851 map, it also shows no data for the upper guadalupe: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/Adelsverein_Karte_des_Staates_Texas_1851_UTA.jpg kerr county was founded in 1856 The Centerpoint News was first published remotely in 1908 a press was moved to Kerr County in 1926 and the paper changed it's name to The Kerrville Times publishing periodically the paper went daily in 1949 we know about the 1931 flood - a trip to the library to request the relevant 1931 editions of the KT would be useful a review of every edition from 1908 to 1931 should be suggested to a scout looking for an eagle project post-graduate work to study all of the primary sources in kerr county, such as government minutes and documents and local diaries would be meritorious a full dissertation or book on the subject would require a thorough review of the full archives in the libraries in new braunfels, seguin and gonzales, up to the beginning of construction of the Canyon Dam in 1958 dotting i's and crossing t's would require a full read of the san antonio express first published in 1865 and finally, going completely medieval requires combing through the Spanish colonial records for Texas y Coahuila in the Bexar County Archives, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC), and the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History +++ the catastrophic portion of the july 4th event lasted hours not days, and before the ubiquity of television in the 1950s regional, statewide and/or national awareness of 'similar' prior events relied on dissemination of the printed news in my opinion the statement "ever recorded" is not absolute at this time
  12. fyi - i just caught my mistake - i didn't pay attention and just grabbed the first graphic i found - i have linear and log BACKWARDS because the graphic has them mislabeled linear is 1:1 log is exponential too late to edit post self-reported
  13. i repped this however my take is that this event has nothing at all to do with global warming or cloudseeding the topomaps tell the story of the guadalupe, and google street view seals the case the floodplain maps are pure comedy - the river channel is a half-mile wide, some places wider global warming was not responsible for this rain event - the same flood has happened hundreds of times over thousands of years
  14. Everyone knows about windspeed differential in doppler velocity mode. It replaced the hook echo 25 years ago as the strongest indicator of a rapidly rotating mesocyclone. It is the first indication of spin turning from horizontal to vertical (i.e. pointing down at the ground). As we know, mesocyclones don't always touch down. My understanding is that this is the trigger for the NWS to issue tornado warnings. The flooding equivalent of this does not require human intervention or cell service or landlines. By my count on the topo map there are ~100 upstream tributaries above Hunt on the South and Central branches of the Guadalupe. Tributaries is really the wrong word, they are giant rain gutters carved from granite. Let's speculate that there was a gauge measuring 1) flow in cubic feet per second and 2) the speed of the rise in water level. If that data stays logarithmic for all gauges you have X amount of time before the river rises to Y level at speed Z downstream. We don't need AI to predict the results. It's basic fluid dynamics and hydrology. In a logarithmic situation there is "more" time and you might not need sirens to stop death in the ancient river channel (which is half a mile wide). Anything in that channel, as we witnessed, is toast. It would be common sense not to build structures or sleep in them anywhere in that half-mile-wide channel, but that's another topic. I've kept this clean, and used capitalization and punctuation, which as everyone knows, is not my forum style. But I have to break with civility for a moment. A quick aside to address the KerrCo "people" who resisted sirens. You dumb sonsofbitches, you live in fucking TEXAS, where we have TORNADOES ALL THE FUCKING TIME, and you don't want storm sirens? "Sirens wouldn't have helped in time" is a LOSER EXCUSE (TM-wheels). KerrCo "leaders" LOST a lot of innocent tourists and LOST 2-dozen+ young girls. Kerr County and Kerrville leaders and their base are LOSERS. "Sirens wouldn't have helped in time" grinds my gears. The Prestige: if more than, say, 4 or 5 of those gauges show data going linear, i.e. exponential, the gauge should fire off a "distress signal", a "radio beacon", it could even use off-the-shelf ADS-B commercial aviation transponder hardware. No cells. No landlines. No humans. The beacon goes off, the sirens turn on. Why? Because God has sounded the alarm.
  15. pelini went 5-3 5-3 7-1 5-3 in the b1g, his last 4 years, corn's 1st 4 years in the b1g 0u won't crater overnight - they will be short 1 win per year for awhile and nagy can parlay that in to 2, maybe 3 years
  16. i would love to see the full transcript of the hearing to see if there was any discussion about deciding to not take money for early warning systems funded by not-republican administrations i would also love to see the exact discussion regarding the county commissioner's claims the "water came to fast so sirens wouldn't have worked" full nyt article in the clear: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/us/politics/texas-floods-hearing.html
  17. looking forward to ctj/carton response to this
  18. my apologies - you are a BIG MAN - i cow down before your authoritai - i googled to get his exact title - YOU ARE OMNISCIENT! praise carton praise the laser projekt
  19. jeff banks title: assistant head coach, tight ends coach, and special teams coordinator does he have cheat codes for punt blockers to avoid flop flags that he's been holding on to for 4 years? sark brought him from bama in 21 this is his 5th season the asu 'collision' was ...... not well corched
  20. ctj's bobby from this morning - dark mode
  21. is he officially the designated coach for punt blocking?
