  1. Except they may not. It’s not a given the legislature will appropriate the money. If they don’t the plaintiffs don’t get paid.
  2. Media is for profit, that’s it.
  3. I pointed out that this plus the NWS warning at 1am was more than enough to prevent this if camp management was vigilant as they were supposed to be. I’m so goddamned mad right now. There’s no fucking team here. Kids are dead, why in the fuck are people just wanting updates? Fuck that. Every fucking adult that lead to this needs to be fired, removed and run out of town. Don’t care your race, gender, party, don’t care how the fuck do we keep putting up with this shit?
  4. 2 inches fell out west a bit ago so more flooding may occur.
  5. Thankfully it’s during the day
  6. Fuck your feelings. There are two lines of news. Search and rescue and abject failure of leadership from the camp to kerville to Kerr county and on to the state.
  7. State of Texas can’t be bothered to solve a problem like a state of the art warning system.
  8. Holy shit wow that’s so unbelievable
  9. We have some of the highest fatalities from flash flooding in the country. It’s time we have a state funded warning system.
  10. How to help and news about dead kids and whose heads will need to roll are different topics.
  11. Multi county risk as many as a dozen, that’s 5% of the state, known risk, fatality risk, one of the highest in the country. This is a state problem to solve even before you put it in the climate change risk bucket. That’s just how low Travis and canyon were.
  12. You probably would have too even though I think your critical thinking skills are often lacking. Sorry I’m fucking pissed. It wasn’t negligence it was gross negligence. And once again we have dead fucking children and Christian leaders up and down the ranks failed us. And what do we get? Calls for days of prayer and assurance that it was our prayers that stopped the water, stopped the water? Nothing stopped the fucking water, it ravaged communities for several days. It’s not some fucking drag queen or “transgenders” it’s failed leadership up and down the ranks, AGAIN. It’s fucking infuriating. you know what else? If our leadership had a true culture of servant hood and taking responsibility and solving real problems instead of blaming people like ME then I wouldn’t go on repeat. Some body needs to say it though. They are a complete and utter failure to our kids. I’m going on a hike. PTL.
  13. Fuck it, let it be both.
  14. You’re entitled to your opinion and there can be multiple points of failure from a policy perspective but I know you well enough to know this wouldn’t have happened to you if you were the camp leader - now you mighta called local LE and their response may have been shit. But you would have been up analyzing the situation at 1230am-1am… I know I would have been. The lack of vigilance on the river bank is where this started. The local and state governments were not the fail safe they are supposed to be.
  15. My mom is house sitting for us and can’t take a pic for shit or I’d show venture point island disappearing still might later today. Terrible pics and such a great opportunity to time lapse.
  16. Again, you have 700 little girls (or boys) that close to a flood prone river and known remnants of a tropical storm parking over the hill country you are up at 1am. Weather radio, local tv, Facebook, shit man, you get that warning 3 times in 10 minutes. You wake everyone up, you call 911 and ask for help and you get shit moving. Last three feet is the camp’s fault here 100%. A cell phone wake up at 1am woulda been nice but that’s for families and RVers etc, you have 700 little girls entrusted to you, you are the warning system.
  17. I have no issue with Facebook rollouts it’s both and though. Reality is the state has billions in surpluses and fatality risk in the hill country from flash floods is arguably the worst in the country. Instead of solving problems and creating a robust warning system for the hill country, the state is busy trying to exile the bad evil trannies. We know it’s working we know they can do things they set their minds too but nah, welfare of the people isn’t important. instead these assholes cosplay with Boy Scout uniforms at press conferences, congratulate each other, cover up facts, and call for days of prayer. They mislead and mistreat the good people that they have under their spell. It’s fucking gross.
  18. Because we had a weather thread, the weather event is over and now we have morphed this into a girls are dead thread. They aren’t the same.
  19. I remain steadfast in my view that if I knew there were the remnants of a tropical system over the hill country and a possible flood event likely while casually observing from fucking Mexico, then the camp is 100% responsible. that said, our fucking state government is insulting good honest people who have been hoodwinked by them with their self fellating, sitting around in disaster uniforms and Boy Scout looking - be prepared shirts, and day of prayers nonsense. We are running billions in surpluses and we have a known fatality risk - one of the highest in the nation - in the flash flood prone hill country. This is exactly the kinds of problems state governments and legislatures are supposed to focus on and solve for. How we don’t have a robust and redundant warning system in place is beyond me. but hey at least the resident tranny is in Mexico scouting out exile communities she may be forced to flee too. at least that’s a win amirite?
  20. Travis up 18, not sure the inflows but I believe dams upstream still open. I bet most of Hamilton, cow and big sandy creeks have pushed their water in already.
  21. Can we split the tragedy from the ongoing weather thread now please?
  22. Cbs Austin forecast and if you rewatch he says tropical storm that’s going to move slowly over the hill country and could drop tremendous amounts of rain. The future radar even shows rotation. People just flat out ignored this. Across the board. Heads need to fucking roll.
  23. 2018, over 20 feet in 24 hours.
