No phones needed. No registration. Just a direct, audible warning to everyone along the river. Add flashing lights for the deaf. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.
Fucking hell. From almost nothing to above the roadway in less than 40 minutes, on a bridge that looks 30-40' high.
I told my wife earlier that -esp with this being July 4th weekend - there were probably a whole lot of campers missing that aren't even being counted yet as 'missing', so I don't think they even have a good idea yet how many are actually missing. Then we saw a video at an RV park where there had been 28 RVs parked. They all got washed away. Unknown how many people made it out. Many of them - sometimes whole families - got washed downstream even with people trying their best to rescue them. And that's at an RV park. Now think of all the people who just roll up in their car and pitch a tent.
I'm sure we haven't even come close to learning the true extent of this horrific disaster.
100%.
And, I'm just curious ... was the Jim Spencer post moved here from the DT thread or was it actually posted here after the 'sanitation crew' wrecked shit?
If it was moved ... well ... why in the actual fuck?
Welp ... there ya go.
I'm having trouble finding this. Anyone have a link for me to post on a very nitpicky board I post on?
Never mind. I found it on his FB page.

Yep, and there have been two little-publicized incidents in the last , idk, 10 years that I know of where AFD crews were assaulted upon arrival. One in NE Austin where a crew was attacked by a man in the front yard of a residence after being called there for an emergency, resulting in serious injuries to at least one FF. Another was downtown, where some homeless folks had been squatting in an abandoned building and starting fires inside the building for cooking and/or for heat. Can't remember what season it was when this happened. Crew was assaulted trying to extinguish one of those fires.
He's a douchebag with an affected announcing style and agonizingly slow cadence for effect. On DTS he's the leader of the false narratives that show thrives on, always villainizing one driver or making a hero of another, using imagined conflicts or other fabricated events as the fuel for the narrative. DTS is mostly fiction with a pretty F1 backdrop.
As usual, Fernando knows exactly what's happening out there. The tactical awareness is off the charts ...
... and we all saw what happened as soon as he lost DRS with Lawson.

Yeah, one Bernie is worth about eleventy-bazillion Karuns. And once Martin is gone, Bernie should be on every single pit walk, with Ted, Naomi, or Simon, etc. I said a long time ago that the best grid walk would be Bernie & Ted. That went pretty well yesterday.
JFC, someone please, please, please put a muzzle on Karun, FFS.
I'm diggin' Bernie's makeover.
Helluva nice race for Alonso. Much better outcome than I expected after FP. For once, strategy and the race worked in his favor.
