That was in Boerne
Woke this morning to firefighter ringing my doorbell. Next door neighbors house (under construction) was hit by lightening and on fire. Luckily it did not spread to us, and was contained to their back addition. It was a stressful hour or so until they got it put out.

Two different co-workers of mine have had their house burn from lightning in the past few months, with the most recent last week. The first one was basically a total burndown because they were on vacation, so the fire was going pretty strong before neighbors noticed. Last week's was caught before the whole place went up since they were home, but in order to get to it, the firefighters still had to tear apart a good part of the home + it's all a wet mess now. That one was a historic home.

what happened to that family linked earlier in the thread, in Wimberly, where the two kids and wife were missing and the husband was in the hospital?
They found the dog, and no one else last I heard.

Coworker is a family friend of them. She confirmed this morning the dog was found about 20' up in a tree somewhere.
I hate to say it, but if the mother had the children in her arms, or even one child, her attempts to keep them safe more than likely ultimately drowned her and the children. In swift moving water your only hope is first of all not to get hit by anything or sucked into or under anything. Then you've got to be a strong swimmer to attempt to make it to a bank. If you're holding onto someone else, you're not swimming hard enough.

From LCRA FB Page...

Boaters should avoid the area near Mile Marker 30 at Lago Vista on Lake Travis after dark. The area is clogged with debris washed downstream by last night's floods.
Dog dead or alive?

I was (am) hoping for the best.
The dog was found alive.
Alive
If it's try to save my child or myself. I'm going to either get my child to safety or die trying.
Don't have children of my own, but I can't say I would blame anyone for that decision. My comments above were not meant in any way to cast judgment. This is a tragedy.
Understand. Freak thing.
Family and friends are still searching for the families missing in Wimberly.

So according to the National Weather Service one of the highest recorded Brazos River levels in Richmond was in 1994 and it reached 50.3 feet.
Currently, it is projected to reach 49 feet at noon on Sunday. Things will get really interesting if the river gets higher than 50 feet.

We're going to Wimberley in the morning to get a few things out of grandfather's suburban.
Was he caught up in the water?

They did.
But his home/car is trashed or gone I would assume.

Get everything you care about out of the way. I suspect that the update is going to move up the crest. The real time data shows it will crest sooner or higher. After 40 ft we will slowly start losing access on the river. Projected close to 100,000 cf/s.
Posting this again to make sure everyone knows how to access flood gauges.

Any idea what the elevations are on the levees around Telfair and Greatwood?
