Ive been going there my whole life between camps and going back and renting houses with my family. Now my kids are in camp. I think its fair to say anyone thats been going for over a decade has seen multiple flood events, some of which are exactly as you described. Water got THIS HIGH when I was there back in the day, Ive heard that stuff the whole time Ive been there. I can remember at least one summer at camp where it just wouldnt stop raining for days and the water slowly creeped up to the cabins. We just had our stuff on the bunks and the floors in these cabins are typically just concrete slab. Water goes back out, recedes to the river, and you go about your business. I certainly can see how someone might start to sort of disregard the warnings about flood severity. You hear that stuff but typically it isnt as bad at your place, so you just get in the bad habit of not taking the warnings seriously. Then all of a sudden you're distracted by the 4th of July and and it gets just a little easier to disregard the warnings, and by the time a flood like this starts to head your way, and you actually spring into action, its too late. This thing just moved too fast.

So let’s “fix it” by spending a bunch more money we don’t have! Idiotic -
Just finished as well. Fak could never be seen again and it would not be noticed but guess being a producer means he'll be back. Just not a fan of whatever he is. What boss/partner would let Syd drag out the partner agreement? That's irritating IMO. I'm neutral with her but I do wish that her real struggle ( as mentioned previously here) would not be having to make a great choice. She should just tell Shapiro to wait until that timer strikes 0 and decision will be made. We need more kitchen chaos and working through real day to day shit that happens in a place like that. Means more Carmy losing his shit. The Ritchie/Carmy drama is too high school for me. What guys act like this? Especially those that have known each other for so long? Maybe Ritchie will get to bang the expo girl next season. Jimmy is awesome. Don't think we appreciate Platt's acting enough. Took me a minute but Josh Hartnett has aged....differently. I'm back to liking Bree Larsen. At least for now. Finally, this is Carmys show. I think we get away from that a bit. I get it for last season as he was filming The Iron Claw right? But focus needs to stay on him and have the support as needed. Still like the show. Not much out there that I enjoy and will see it through.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

And we wouldn't be tortured with "10 to 9" jokes ("What time is it? It's 10 to 9!") from JAWJA forevermore. 🤬 -
Thank you for the negs. My criticism of Mondami has nothing to do with New York City specifically. I live in a city equally as expensive and have been involved in housing advocacy for a decade. As we are both from Houston, I find your hostility confusing. Might you explain how the housing economics of NYC does not comport with the rest of America?

how do you verify everyone on the river saw the alert, on every flash flood alert ? then what ? we're talking about a state govt that won't mandate vaccines but they need to go around and make sure you saw the flash flood alert. the current state and federal are very much against these alerts, they say it promotes global warming lies !!!!! less weather reports = less global warming bs

I fucking do. I evacuated to my wife’s cousin’s house in North Louisiana- we were watching the city flood after the levee breaches when some Dipshit friend of theirs said it was God’s judgment for the sinful ways of New Orleans. I screwed up and sort of shoved him a little first as I swung at him - so my punch did not land. He literally ran out the door, and thankfully did not call the cops. To this day I wish I’d decked him.

Tried to go to bed. Yawning my ass off this evening because I took family to airport at 3:30AM today. Did chores around the house all morning. Took it easy this afternoon, but knew the game was at 6. Great game. I'm so amped up, I still cannot go to sleep. Some fireworks going off, but that never stops me. Fuck the Dodgers.

My family will be donating to the Hunt Methodist Church. The pastor opened the church to all of us yesterday around 4am and we were there until the national guard started taking people out around 5pm. We had ~90-100 people there, many who were missing family members and/or were injured pretty badly, and everyone came together to donate water, snacks, etc. Unfortunately because everyone left so abruptly in the evening, the church was left in quite a bit of disarray. The pastor and his wife left as well as we were told the Schumacher crossing might not make it. huntumc.org

Agree with ole Troy. But I also layer in the state as well. The state licenses these camps. It is pretty obvious there were failures at Mystic, like lack of disaster preparedness, lack of communication, or just plain incompetence. A competent state government would revisit licensing rules and regulations specifically as it comes to disaster preparedness for sleepaway camps near bodies of water. But we all know the state is a bunch of fucking idiots, so nothing will change.

Each county in Texas can opt into a reverse 911 program. This is an alert system that sends warnings throughout the county according to addresses. But the problem is those Reverse 911 systems are linked solely to landlines. Kerr County currently uses a system called CodeRed, which operates like Reverse 911. However, it only reaches registered landlines; cell phones and VOIP numbers must be manually signed up through the county portal people.com+8kerrvilletx.gov+8reddit.com+8. That means standard cellphones were not automatically notified, unless someone had beforehand opted in. Camp Mystic probably did have at least one operational landline, since reverse 911 focuses on those. But if that landline was not registered in the county’s system—or was affected by power/water outages—it likely didn’t relay any alert. Plus, once local systems like phones and internet went down during the flood, that lifeline likely failed. No verified Reverse 911 call went out to residents around midnight on July 4. The system depends on landline registration; cell phones don’t get alerts automatically. If Camp Mystic had a landline—but it wasn’t registered or was down—they would have missed any alert. Overall, this tragedy shines a glaring spotlight on the limitations and fragility of the current system—and the urgent need for more robust, multi-channel emergency alerts. On top of that, how many remember in 2018 when the government set us a Wireless Alert System? I assume that has also been defunded, since it's last one was in 2023. I assume they could tailor WEA for target areas. October 3, 2018 was the first-ever Presidential Alert test sent to nearly every smartphone in the U.S., triggered under FEMA’s IPAWS system. Users couldn’t opt out, and it blared a loud tone with a test message en.wikipedia.org+11en.wikipedia.org+11cbsnews.com+11en.wikipedia.org+2time.com+2weather.gov+2. The most recent nationwide test occurred on October 4, 2023, involving both the Emergency Alert System (EAS) for radios/TV and the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) for cellphones emergencyalertsystem.fandom.com+9umpdnews.umd.edu+9cityoflaurel.org+9. So yes—and going forward, there are scheduled WEA tests via national broadcast networks. I am going to assume CodeRed is a cheaper alternative to Reverse 911 and the county didn't spend much money getting people to opt in.

Great weekend for it... Did make it up to the second ledge (a bit higher but much better views and less crowded) We always try get there right before sunrise.

Day's Final Update: - Convection/rainfall has greatly diminished this evening as hoped & mentioned in my previous post. Latest NWS guidance keeps open the possibility of scattered heavy rain just like last night, although factors aren't as strong. This means hopefully spottier rains. But I expect it to pick up in the post-midnight hours as influx of warm, moist air re-feeds the column of saturated mid-level core. - However, the system hasn't moved much, in fact seems to have wobbled a bit SW to just west of Round Rock. Unfortunately the trough I hoped would pull it up is just too weak in this part of the country to drag it out - there's just nothing to influence moving it away right now. So what's going to happen is default - a high pressure ridge to our east is going to slowly work its way in from the Mississippi Valley region and nudge the system back westward. It's weakened somewhat but by no means isn't still strong enough for another round of flooding rain - but not to the destructive degree before. - However, this means again more heavy rain for some part of the Hill Country - were exactly is impossible to predict (models are suggesting the more northern quadrant again)- possible early a.m. tomorrow. Flood watches are now well into Sunday afternoon/early evening. I think ATX will escape the worst, lying just to the east of the core (again!) - our flood risk is a 1, vs. 2 or 3 west of Travis/Williamson. This is still a potentially dangerous situation west of 281 for tomorrow. Unfortunately, this thing is going to die a slow, gradual death, not finally GTFO. But again, the hopeful prediction here is less than the last 2 rain bombs. Sunday will see this system move over the Hill Country and hopefully a little weaker. It'll either finally meander SW and die out or kick up towards the panhandle, then out. But that's for tomorrow, hopefully I can get a handle on how this thing is gonna end once and for all. Finally, I know adults are among the deceased and I grieve for them as well, I just want to leave this in memory of those lovely little gals who've perished in this disaster. We remember you. (This was my daughter's favorite stuffed animal when she was at that age.)

Sad but true - it’s actually four, not three. Two of the girls were confirmed deceased in the last couple of hours, and two still missing with little hope. I don’t even know what to do and I feel guilty being so happy that we picked up my kids safe from CLH today. Beyond heartbreaking and going to affect so many for generations. 💔

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Grimas replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
About 50% of the kids at UArk are Greek so if you aren’t in, social scene is tougher. What mine didn’t realize is that a bunch of houses either limited to Arkansas kids only or the pipelines for Texas kids is mainly 6-10 high schools out of the DFW area. And most of their rush is durning the summer and freshmen show up with “pre-bids” before rush even starts so remaining slots for the big ones are limited. (He did get bids from some of the smaller ones but only wanted one from the big 10). Twin brother didn’t give a shit about going Greek and is having a blast… -
Warfare. Alex Garland makes a war movie
UpperWestside replied to Parliament's topic in Movies and TV
What you wrote here is absolutely the point that was made by this film. It’s not “Heck yeah! ‘Merica!” stuff. This is what war is. It shouldn’t be glorified. When a person’s life ends that’s it. One mistake could get all of these soldiers killed and brought home in coffins. Anytime I read about the war drums coming to life it just means some young men and women are going to go lose their life in an older person’s war because negotiations between factions or nations failed and the peace was broken. The ending was hollow and sobering. What was gained for either side? Watching it makes me respect Americans that voluntarily sign up for this so that those of us back home can go and watch this film. You see in that hour and a half how a person’s entire life was changed forever. Just that short sliver of time did a whole lot of mental and physical damage to people. -
Just great to have two wins vs LA. One a total face raping and the other a win where the Dodgers a couple of times thought they could manufacture a comeback only to have it ripped away. Fuck LA and Go Stros baby!!
