  1. How do I send you a NIL check?
  2. #1175 best player in the portal. LFG!!
  3. I think that was the Vegas tournament he was referring to. No need to do both Dallas/Houston and another neutral site tournament in the same season.
  4. Ok Since we are making up each others desires, you are clearly looking for a way your team can say, "it could have been a lot worse." Good luck with the siren 1 mile up-river from your camp, pal. That'll show them.
  5. As it relates to the sirens, that's not where I'm thinking. I keep running the scenario in my head as if I was in Casa Bonita, Japonica Estates or the houses just up river from them. Like most of the at risk out there, they are sandwiched between Hwy 39 and the river. There is no high ground. Almost assuredly, their evac plan is to get in the car and drive. Where did I say that? Anywhere?
  6. That’s what concerns me about the sirens and evacuations during the actual flood event. Hwy 39 and 1340 are super dangerous when it floods. There are over a dozen spots I can think of that flood from Mystic and Mo-Ranch to Ingram. Not just the 1 in 500 year flood, but the routine floods that occur all the time out there.
  7. I get it. Just putting the conceptional siren plan into real perspective here. The headwaters for the Guadalupe River literally start right here. Less than 1-2 miles from Camp Mystic on the south fork and less than 1-2 miles from Mo-Ranch on the north fork. Your example of Pedernales Falls State Park is more than 80 miles of upstream Pedernales River for measurements or sensors. Ingram Dam to Mystic is about 11 miles. Maybe that is enough time for sensors to detect, send a siren blast, and have everyone along that stretch get up and get out.
  8. Where on the Pedernales are you talking about? For the Guadalupe River, aren't both the headwaters for North and South Guadalupe river right here in this area. 1-2 miles from Mo-Ranch and about 1-2 miles from Camp Mystic? How much upstream are you talking about?
  9. Evacuations, boarding up homes, securing property, yes. Sirens during the event are to seek shelter (basement, closet, etc..) immediately. Not to evacuate.
  10. I agree with this. Hurricanes and Tornados evacuations occur days before the weather arrives. Telling people to evacuate only when the river is rising, seems problematic. There are too many other perils to give a blanket directive when the actual event is occurring.
  11. I can’t answer all of it. The flood plan hanging on the cabin walls was to stay in the cabins. Nothing about leaving them. When the camp leadership did decide to evacuate, there are several accounts of adults (Dick Eastland (director), Glenn Juenke (security officer and former Ingram Chief of Police) and Edward Eastland (Director) were all actively helping girls evacuate out of cabins.
  12. No offense, but if the numbers were 88 people dead instead of 134, I highly doubt you would be on here with equal amount of praise for how much lower the death toll was because of how the county decided to install sirens. I can only imagine you writing something like, without sirens, "It could have been a lot worse."
  13. That would have been a great post. You should have just stopped there. Instead, you accuse them of shit that is totally false and you had no idea about. They were awake, monitoring NWS warnings ahead of time, had a plan in place, etc...
