I went to camp there this is crushing. I knew Jane Ragsdale who is now dead pretty well. Stop telling people how to post.

Maybe it was all the prayers for rain the last five years and God just checked his email. 

Will the forcefield ever come back is what I want to know? This may have fucked it up.

Well he has been on a beach with some good cocaine, Jesus by his side in the pouring rain.

LCRA "We do not anticipate needing flood control release at this time."

Two hours later starts flood releasing.

LCRA is some hillbilly that looks out his window and opens the gate when the water shows up.

This presser was delayed 90 minutes for this? Did it take them that long to agree the proper sequence to kiss ass?

Now Hot Wheels is trying to to invoke the image of children clinging to trees for exactly what purpose?

"Pray so much." Great job, dipshit.

Someone should check flight tracker. Good odds the press conf was delayed because Dementia Don insisted they wait for Kristy Gnome.

Pulling up the radar periodically and this system is not fucking moving just spinning

Yeah, I've got a lot of standing water in my backyard here in 78613 and a steady river in the side yard between my neighbor's house. We're not in danger of flooding here but it's going to be a soggy mess for days to come.

That's a good point to anyone doing relief work. I wear my shrimping boots near the water and hiking boots the rest.  Keep your feet moving. They will tear you up.

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.

 

I was thinking about this too. Either LCRA (or whoever makes these decisions) is completely incompetent, or there was concern for the safety of boaters on those lakes if they opened up the floodgates earlier because they had to know the water was coming.

After seeing the footage of all the water flowing over Starke dam I feel like the only reason to not open them sooner was concern over the safety of the people celebrating the 4th on the lakes. If that wasn’t the case then someone should get fired.

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, 

Thanks for providing useful information instead of emotional garbage like all the guys who act like they've never seen a press conference before.

14 children. That they know of. Heartwrenching.

They could slowly start drawing them down.  While moving water into Travis. Even dumping 1000cfs into Travis would be something. They regularly let 1000cfs through Austin and Town lake for farmers with no effect of boating on an interim release schedule.  Also " no planned releases" then let it rip hours later doesn't support your argument.

I hadn’t seen this before and I obviously cannot confirm it but it does track with some things i have heard.

That child’s mom was widowed a few months ago and her brother died this year also.

We have land in the area so I’m getting family updates. . I have been in and around cow creek all my life and never seen anything like this:

 

 The bridge over it on Singleton

The 1431 crossing completely gone.

Damn, 1431 going to Lago is also washed out. Anyone between those 2 points isn’t going to town for a bit.
