My 17-year-old son was in the CLJ stables all first term. He said only Dave's horse perished, unless others washed away in later flooding since the initial incident.

Electricity in Hunt at least on the North Fork got restored today. Initially they were told it could be days or weeks b/c the substation flooded. Apparently there wasn't as much damage as expected.

We found the hero from Hazel's cabin and guess what... He's an Ag!! God bless you all and thank you for your support!! God its getting dusty in here again.
My wife seems to recall that he played football for RC. Not completely sure if that's true but she remembers him fondly from her time at camp
Name sounds familiar.
FYI: I have friends with zero TexAgs association sharing this thread because is one of the best info sources out there. Keeping it focused on the facts is important.
Prayer for all.

Had two girls up on the North Fork. They were evac today and never in any major danger. The stories the families have out of this group are horrific. Appreciate the information here as it came in.

TexAgs can be a powerful information tool.
I have a connection with the Kerr County SO. I am sure others on here have more than one and are closer to the one I have. Through these connections one of us can, hopefully, get in touch with Glen and see if he wants to come to a FB game.
My bet is he would not want to be recognized but maybe get Nim Kidd and Glen together.
Will be a while before the Kerr County SO calms down. So may be a while before I can get in touch with my one connection.

Deleted upon updated info
There was mention during the afternoon presser about 4 kids still waiting to be reunited with family. Anyone have an update on this? Seems those with kids missing would already be there, unless traveling and haven't made it there yet.
I posted this on the Premium thread yesterday. I wanted to post it here because prayers help.
Dear Heavenly Father, please wrap everyone impacted by these terrible floods in your loving arms. Please ensure a swift and safe rescue for all of the missing people. Grant everyone impacted by this and their families strength and comfort as their lives have been turned upside down. Please watch over everyone who is involved in the ongoing rescue operations and keep them safe and make their rescue efforts fruitful. All this I ask in Jesus' name, Amen

i am overseas having no thought for something like this. If in Europe the full scope maybe didn't dawn on you until well too late on the 4th to get a departure. I couldn't find a return until tomorrow either that wasn't severe thousand in fees. We made other arrangements
This photo is from a NY times article that has an ariel seemingly taken today post flooding. You can clearly see the "Twins" (the building with two clear parts hence its name) and then next to that is Bubble Inn with the bright green roof.
It is completely wild looking at that photo how high the water must have been.
What am I doing? Talking in a time of despair about meeting with friends to drink bourbon?
Oh the horrors

Pretty sure I saw somewhere that at least 1 set of parents was in Europe

Is there is an award that we can nominate this guy for? If so, I feel like we should nominate him. Hero's deserve to be recognized.
If I had season tickets, I'd let him have them for any game he wanted to go to this season. Surely through the power of Texags we can do something for him.
He deserves any accolades coming his way and that man has my undying gratitude and sincere respect. I think I can speak for the rest of the Wiggle Inn parents in saying he has their's as well.
Which guy is this for?
As a pediatric emergency medicine and palliative care physician, I've experienced a lot of loss in my short career. Situations like these hurt the most as loss comes suddenly without reason.
As a father of 4 daughters, the ages of these girls, I've never cried more and hugged harder than when my oldest came home from camp today.
I am so thankful for those who have survived and will continue to pray for their healing. I am so sorry for those still searching for their loved ones. While there is no reward greater than eternity with Christ, I remain prayerful that families are reunited with their loved ones.
For all those affected by these tragedies, my family and my hearts are with you. If you should ever need anything, ears to listen, eyes to read, voice to pray, please do not hesitate to reach out.

I can't be there to drink with you in person, but I'll pour a bourbon now and keep saying Rosaries for you and all affected.
Glenn.

Wow. Those cabins really were not far from where the other campers were evacuated to.

They are landing in Fredericksburg in about 5 mins.
We love you Derm. Try to stay positive brother. We're praying over here in Orange County for your family and all involved in this terrible tragedy.

I agree, it's hard to believe that water rose that fast all from rainfall.
Self deleting since I thought this post would be gone by now.
Prayers to those who have lost and who are still looking for word on loved ones.

Our understanding is the lowest cabins were evac early in the evening. The ones pictured here are super low and took no losses from in the cabin as far as we know.
From understanding now how high the water got on the north side it is not clear how these structures were not totally submerged.
There is a water line at the base of the roof of hunt store and at the third level of hoh. Each of these should be well above these structures AGM. It is still not at all clear how mystic lost so so many and LJ had 0 given they did evac some kids. Horrific and a nightmare. One the kids will need to endure internally and process somehow.
Also worry long term for that entire camp economy. Hoh is basically gone and LJ didn't fare much better. Mystic might see lawsuits that shutter it. Maybe. None of these things will bring back kids, and while a great privilege to bring this experience it is one that is valuable and should continue.
May Jane Ragsdale rest in peace and I sincerely hope everyone of you get to hug your kids like I will soon.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
He's a night security officer that waded through floodwaters to help the girls in Wiggle Inn staying with them through the flood while they floated on mattresses as water in the cabin rose to its peak and went back down and essentially saved the lives of my daughter, two counselors, and 14 other little girls in Wiggle Inn.
In the interest of privacy I have not posted his full name here but he is a good Ag and many here know him.

as it turns out, people cope and grieve during times of tragedy differently.
The posts are restored and we can move on, but the indignation was valid. Everyone processes differently, especially when we are all playing a waiting game for more information.

So "staff" where is the contact button? Why do you not pm me?

Did kerrville leaders in the presser mention anything about city of kerville along river, as in downtown area taking losses? I missed the presser.

Hopefully, the aggie family can find a way to honor him! He certainly is welcome at our family's tailgate and I'm sure we can find him a ticket to a football game this season.
