The cabins in the picture he posted did not flood. They stayed dry. It’s a very misleading post.

Yeah, the problem is that the old, original Camp Mystic is the one we're talking about, not the newer, added on CM-Cypress Lake.

The original camp is to the west on the bank of the Guadalupe.  For whatever reason, only Cypress Lake is indicated on Google Maps/Earth.

I really don’t want to be judgmental but these people are really acting like they don’t want to talk about anything of substance.

32 deceased - 18 of the deceased are adults and 14 are children. 

14 children 

 

some of these are unidentified

they are still searching and rescuing and they are hoping there are still alive folks but chances diminish with time,

Hopes becoming dashed.

theyd lead with good news if they had it

they been burying the mystic stuff every presser. 

Because when those facts are finally revealed, the anger directed at people in charge is going to be other worldly.

Range extenders should be in place.

Sat phones, coordination with other camps and officials. Some one stays up all night monitoring during credible flood warnings and 6" is credible enough to warrant due diligence especially in these types of events that always have excessive rain beyond forecast somewhere, even a single Trib that only floods one camp or area.  You camp in a flood zone you have someone with thier head on a swivel.

Ignore flood warnings all you want when it's a fast moving frontal event in the fall.

“God has blessed Texas” has to be the most tone-deaf closing statement I could possibly imagine. 

How does rank against “It coulda been worse?”

They did say 32 total recovered. 
of the deceased 18 are adults, 

14 are kids. 
 

that was pretty clear even tho the person who answered it down at the end of the table.

So 27 missing… er…. Likely dead
 
32 already dead. And thats just in kerrville?

Yes, but it also sounded like they don’t know yet if the recovered bodies are some of the missing. So those missing could be adjusted once ID is made of recovered bodies.

Well, they did say they were trying to identify those 5 deceased, so i would think if they were part of the group they were searching for that could have been done pretty quickly.  I suspect they're just some of the additional fatalities (tourists, etc.).

The question was why did the emergency alerts only start at 7am. We get alerts from other agencies so what happened?
Answer: “Well it’s obviously the NWS fault that their budget was cut so that no overnight staff were available to send out the alerts. If they managed themselves better over the years then they would have the resources needed to save more lives.”

Travis floods around 680 or so, right?  Does LCRA start releasing now or wait until it has reached that level?

They wait until it's too late then over react. Yesterday " they didn't forsee needing to open Starke dam or any flood gate operations with this event."  Despite the high CFS on the Llano alone.  

This is basic math one dude could figure out. Llano at 68k cfs or whatever into a constant level lake like LBJ means you need to release enough water to account for 68k cfs of water coming in plus whatever falls in other tribs, so start filling Travis up ahead of time versus reacting.

They should have drawn down LBJ MF And Inks several feet to give room for surge knowing if it stopped raining the continued inflow would fill those lakes right back up over the coming weeks.

If you're lowlying, beware floods. If you're not lowlying, beware mudslides. When it ain't raining, beware wildfires.

Don't forget doughts.

We get no water at all, or we get life-threatening water.

See my post above.  Wrong part of Camp Mystic.  The one in question is over by Mystic Springs on that view and further to the west.

Correction: I was looking at the wrong camp-like cluster of buildings.  The original Mystic is north of there, right before 39 crosses the Guad.
