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.

Hed: FEMA removed dozens of Camp Mystic buildings from 100-year flood map before expansion, records show

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.

Every single level of this thing had at least one hole in the Swiss to make it happen…makes me think of AF 447 where the dumbass FO pulling full deflection on the yoke all the way down to the Atlantic shoulders the blame, but also their training + poor CRM + the pitot probes + the way Airbus handled dual input on the side sticks.  

- Mystic for not being proactive, not posting watch, no effective internal comms once power was lost, shitty evac plans, even way back with flood plain exceptions even if my 8yo could tell you it’ll flood there someday.  

- Kerrville residents who drank the raw MAGA kook aid to the point of refusing free money to better their community 

- Kerrville and county leadership for humoring that bullshit multiple times and dismissing the danger before hand, and that bullshit pc where he stormed off in his camo hat for the slightest bit of criticism 

- State leadership for patting themselves on the back and fellating Trump on tv, Abbott for his football/loser statement, etc…also see 2021 freeze, Uvalde, hurricanes, etc

-TrumpCo for killing essential services, putting Kang and Kodos clones in key positions, dumbass rules that hindered aide flow, etc.  

 

Been thinking the same thing someone else said..I sure hope the dads are getting organized to hold accountability at every level and not just Mystic, because if losing your child is still not enough to flip your political switch away from this madness then I’m shoving Brisket out of the way as I run past him off the ledge.

I’ll go ahead and get out of your way…cuz ain’t nuthin’ gonna happen.
El Paso.
Uvalde.
The freeze.
The flood.
The dead Texans are what tell you the GQP policies are WORKING.
Every one of those events isn’t a GQP policy failure, it’s a policy success. And their voters, who are irredeemable evil ghouls, like it and want more of it.
A few angry dads? Bitch please. They’ll be dismissed as treasonous RINOs, and eventually, subjected to legal sanction and perhaps imprisonment in the camps that are literally being built as we speak.
Evil has won. Completely, totally, and with so few shreds of good remaining they aren’t even worth counting.
Every leader who supported and helped this along will be reelected. In a landslide.

They aren't "appeals."  Apparently anyone at any time can apply for removal from a particular flood zone, but they come most often after FEMA revises flood maps.

https://www.fema.gov/flood-maps/change-your-flood-zone/loma-lomr-f

This is an example of such an Amendment/Removal. https://map1.msc.fema.gov/data/48/L/11-06-3437A-480419.pdf?LOC=74f39c316f21aa289bece6f31ba64320

If you have the patience, you can dig through all the Kerr County Unincorporated Areas LOMAs here.  https://msc.fema.gov/portal/advanceSearch#searchresultsanchor

And, I'm not surprised that it occurs mostly in high-value whiteyville.  I very seriously doubt there's anything preferential going on, but this is exactly the kind of thing that wealthy white Americans know to do that poorer and browner ones don't because they have been excluded for so long.
