i don't know them, never knew them, never heard of them, so this is my outsider take - it seems to me the eastlands got lazy OR they were possibly infected by the hillmaga virus which seems to be nearly ubiquitous in kerr county - as i wrote above in my sendup on the aggy bonfire report - guadalupe flooding is a kerr county institution and the ruling cabal does not edit the "we've always done it this way" doctrine unless forced to do so.... i.e. with the blood of hundreds on their hands

the escapegoat for kerrmaga could very well be evil dem feds exempting the bubble inn from the floodplain - who contested for mystic?  eastlands or a firm on their behalf?  they're gone so i can see kerrmaga hanging this around their necks

Ugh, this is not a good look for Mystic — or the powers-that-be. Pretty certain powerful Mystic connections greased a few wheels to get this done time and time again.

The article raises questions

When were these appeals filed?

Why were the appeals granted? For what reasons?

Ever watch that movie Bernie? Wouldn't shock me that the most popular dude in town, who has helped hundreds of people and would give you the shirt off his back, could also be capable of a shady dealing or two. Humans are multifaceted.

somewhere in the content maelstrom from the past week was a comment from a woman in her 40s who was a 4-year mystic alum from the early 80s

she said something to the effect of "she remembered the long-time mystic maintenance man, __________, (she remembered his name) who would take a chair down to the floodplain and watch the river every time it rained at night"

i continue to maintain that this was not a "100-year" event, that it happens every 10-15 years, and the institutional memory of the locals which knew this, died off before the turn of the century 


That AP article describes a 100 year event as something that has a 1% chance of happening in any given year. Calling something a 100 year or 500 year event apparently is just a way to dumb down statistics.

Yeah this comes up every big flood, for sure.  Dumb down- or make it seem less likely than it actually is for whatever reasons.

Yep. A "100 year" event is >50% to happen in any given 69 year period. 500 year event in a 347 year period.

Apparently at this point a "100 year" event is >50% likely in any given 10-15 year period.
