July 4Jul 4 Did your sister come home one hot July night with some extra fly Schottische dance moves? If so, we may. And I got bloodied up a few times in the dirt lot outside the fence. If that was you, I’ve still had enough. Let’s call it a general, yes. And call it even.

Me and an Aggie are going to head up Monday. Anyone out there need anything, PM me. His place in Brady got flooded, but we can use it as a staging ground and work the roads from the west vs. being another car going to respond. I have all the supplies needed to clean a house up, spray bleach, clear trees, you name it. If you know of anyone who needs something let us know. Asked the boss for PTO. He said, get the fuck out there. Clean water? Purification tablets? Food?

Should be the new slogan honestly. 🤘🏼 also should those in the area/on the ground go ahead and start a separate thread now for updates, requests for help and such before black cat gets there and sets up. I know he said he was going to start one. Or should we just wait? Edited July 4Jul 4 by Nicole44

But it’s still a bitch to predict these things in real-time. Agreed, especially given how little data we have over the course of history and how those climate change models still are a bit in flux. It’s why I really hate using PMF or PMP as they imply something that isn’t really correct given how much we actually know.

July 4Jul 4 Saw this on the River Inn facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/reel/578243188691266 Water was up in the first floor rooms, from what I hear.One of my best friend’s daughters are there with their grandmother. They, along with others, are on the second floor, and safe. Waiting for evacuation
July 4Jul 4 Do we have any word on the names of those four little girls found together waiting to be rescued?

July 4Jul 4 Looks to be 2/3rds of the way to Canyon Lake. Praying nothing like last night happens the rest of the journey.

My understanding (and mind you this is via a mom’s text chain, but a text chain that is very well connected with Mystic) is that they are one of many in the area just waiting, including non-Mystic. If I find out I will post an update.
July 4Jul 4 Damn... gazebo footage is nuts!!! [emoji51]That’s UGRA Dam. The water treatment plant in the center of Kerrville.

The map legend would say its more like 2-3 miles, and if you zoom in on google maps you can see plenty of big fucking houses probably a couple hundred feet away. Have no idea if they are elevated on a cliff, etc..... Edited July 4Jul 4 by Blotto

July 4Jul 4 Wimberly cleanup folks: what are going to be the biggest needs going forward? I don't own a chainsaw or a truck -- I could go buy the former -- but I can drag shit to somebody else's truck, I can handle a broom/mop, I can bring in supplies, I can donate money. Which efforts were overdone and which fell short? I remember a few Texas natural disasters (Bastrop fire, various rain bombs, some tornados, etc.) where FEMA etc. basically said "stop bringing clothes and food, just give money", but I'd like to also do something on site if possible, however meager.

July 4Jul 4 I have a friend very close to me who has three daughters there. All safe, one waiting to be picked up by his wife. He was in another state getting his son from camp. Can’t imagine being that far. After I checked in, I decided to leave him alone but will check back in a couple days.I have a few other stories but it sounds terrible. We have an 8 year old daughter, so there are a lot of connections out there.
July 4Jul 4 Just found out one of my wifes’s best friends from college’s daughter is/was one of the missing from Mystic. She might have been seen on dry land and waiting for extraction by helicopter.

July 4Jul 4 I am grateful the blackhawks are equipped with FLIR. Grateful for all the first responders doing heroic things right now and all the volunteers and other groups. I feel that tiny glimmer of hope that quite a few of the missing are ok and just waiting to be found or extracted. This is still very much a rescue operation and praying for the weather to cooperate a bit. My youngest cousin is with her friend (the aunt) of one of the missing little girls and they are desperate for any updates and I keep praying for any good news for them.

I was part of the Wimberley group, and my wife and I went other days as well. Best thing to do is just show up. You can either sign up and be put somewhere or just go help folks on your own. Long Lines and organization can be haphazard so we went out on our own and found an older couple (in their 70-80's ) and helped them all day. Not why we did it but we got an invite to their 4th party a few months later.

July 5Jul 5 https://hydromet.lcra.org/ looking at the LCRA hydromet The Highland Lakes are going to be a lot more full in a day or two....some of the stream flows are unreal too....127,000 cubic feet a second....that is 2.9 acre feet of water per second https://www.texmesonet.org/ looking at the Texas Mesonet it looks like San Angelo should be really glad OC Fisher is there and (was) near empty https://www.waterdatafortexas.org/reservoirs/statewide it will be interesting to look at the lake levels over the next couple of days
July 5Jul 5 I think I’m seeing the “center” of the low nearing Navasota. Let’s hope it doesn’t fill back in tonight.
