Featured story: I walked into an apartment slipping and stumbling on mud so thick I couldn’t see the floor underneath. The table in the dining room was set, decorated with charger plates, flowers, and napkins nicely folded. The mud and debris covered everything. https://www.texasobserver.org/where-the-water-reached/

#KerrCounty didn't have an emergency #flood command center until 6 AM on July 4th, over 4 hours after emergency flash flood alerts were sent & while #CampMystic was desperately trying to evacuate. Rescue crews were on their own & some were cut off by the flooding for hours. Emergency response county leadership were all MIA & none of the #Republican State or Federal elected leaders stepped in while 136 people died from a predicted disaster.

Kent waded through the floodwaters toward the shed where he kept a ladder. By the time he set it up to reach the outside entrance of the attic, floodwaters were rushing onto the property.
They made it just in time to watch the waters rise. They were marooned. https://www.texasobserver.org/texans-hang-on-in-hill-country-tragedy/

I remember the river
how it felt like a silent companion and always gentle guide
how it felt timeless, ever present and patiently waiting for our returnI remember singing “Peace, I ask of thee oh river, peace, peace, peace”

Our top story: Extreme #flooding events are nothing new to #Texas. Neither are droughts. And the first does tend to follow the second here. This weather reality has likely been exacerbated by climate change. https://www.texasobserver.org/hill-country-flood-family-home-fourth-of-july-2002/

"having seen this horrible event, I would imagine you'd put alarms up in some form, where alarms would go up if they see any large amounts of water or whatever it is"
-- TrumpImagine that... I wonder who that would fall under? Maybe NOAA? Oh yea, that agency you keep cutting.... Or maybe USGS? Hmmm, yea that one too.
It's not inept people on the ground... It's the inept leadership of this country.

I remember the river,
flowing so peacefully and slowly you could almost miss its motion
I remember the river,
mirroring the vastness of the starry sky stretched far beyond the nestled valley
