  1. My sister lives just down river from Sattler across from River Road. She took this video from the back porch after the big dump of rain this morning. All of this is from that rain, none from the Kerrville flood. Crazy... IMG_7530.mov
  2. The lake is up almost 6 feet since 7am this morning when the wall of water hit. On top of that we got a serious 2 hr downpour this morning. Probably dumped another 4 inches or so right on top of us. The Guadalupe below the dam is now swollen bigly and they've closed River Road from Sattler to NB. I don't think any houses are in danger, but they are doing some "rescues" by boat into neighborhood near Gruene where the water has cut off vehicle access. That was just shown on the SA NBC affiliate. For now the rain has stopped here. I did a drone flyover the lake yesterday before it got nasty and now that the weather has calmed down I'm getting ready to do another to get a before/after look at what has happened. I'll post that up here once downloaded to my Vimeo account. I watched a video on FB of a local that charters pontoon boats earlier. He was out on the lake just getting an assessment early this morning. There were crazy currents, swirls, and the water had gone from turquoise green and blue to Mississippi mud brown. There were also gigantic trees floating around in the middle of the lake. Really big ones. That's about all I got for now. Will update soon.
  3. That's why the Sheriff was so adamant about going through the timeline in that big presser. All cya. Good ole Kerr County.
  4. Guaranteed. If I had spent a week trying to script a worse response than the one he gave I couldn't have done it.
  5. I saw forecasts of up to 10 inches.
  6. That's obvious CYA. They all had the same talking point on that. Very poorly disguised. They had warning and no one took it seriously. That County Judge's response to being questioned on that earlier was about as bad of one as he could have given. Kerr Co judges and officials are as incompetent as they are corrupt.
  7. I think they just call it the Bergheim gauge because there's nothing else close except some bat cave.
  8. Yep, he sure did.
  9. The SA meteorologist on NBC sure thinks it's going to. He said, "It will most likely pulse again tonight between Comfort and Canyon Lake".
  10. It's at 50 feet now. Crazy
  11. Wall of water moving through Bergheim, TX right now. Holy phuck!
  12. I got the same confirmation.
  13. Apparently, yes.
  14. You serious Clark?
  15. I had forgotten about that one.
  16. Yeah, the bastard just parked there. Reminds me of that one that did the same over CenTex in 2015 and refilled Travis in a week.
  17. You don't understand these camp alumni.
  18. For the worried about flooding below Canyon Lake Dam crowd here. This is the extent of the rise in the Guadalupe River level today. I think you're gonna be fine bros...
  19. I highly doubt this. I live less than a mile from the dam. It hasn't rained that much here at all.
  20. Yeah, cell coverage is very limited out there. It could be they just had zero heads-up on this.
  21. I'd say zero. It would take 5 days of this kind of flooding to overflow the dam here. This lake is the lowest it has ever been since it was filled up after the dam was built. My family has a house just downriver from Sattler in Little Ponderosa and it's right on the river. Like 20 steps from the back door to the water. It's been there since the early 50s. We aren't worried in the slightest. All this water will simply be caught by the lake and stay there.
  22. God in heaven. From one of my daughters who is tied into the Mystic Alumni scene -
