The story is easing away from being thee top story of the day but we are still looking at massive numbers, more than if a huge plane crashed.
We collected canned goods and things like socks, undies, etc at my church this morning and I brought them to the local fire dept that was doing a "collection of the collections".
I continue to pray.

Campers and canoers will be finding remains for years

So 120 fatalities and 170 missing…that’s damn near 300 people. I still can’t fathom how 300 people could get swept away in a flood when it took place over several hours.

Saw this picture the other day, pretty much gave me an idea of how so many could still be missing. Just horrible.

If those missing numbers are accurate, this flooding will have killed more than Hurricane Helene. That's just hard to wrap your head around.

Holy spit.

More than 130 killed in Texas as flood threat continues Officials announced on Sunday that the overall death toll in the ongoing Texas flooding has risen past 130 killed.
There are 106 confirmed deaths in hard-hit Kerr County, with 36 believed to be children.
And the rivers, streams, creeks, and gulleys are rising again…

9:11 AM CDT Kerrville Police Department suspends search operations due to current flood danger
9:01 AM CDT Life-threatening flash flooding ongoing in Kerr and Gillespie Counties
8:06 AM CDT Flash flood threat increases for parts of Central Texas
4:42 AM CDT Flash flooding emergency ongoing in central Texas' Colorado Bend State Park
Another round of severe weather in Central Texas forced Missouri Task Force 1 crews to suspend their search operations in the state on Sunday.
According to a Facebook post from the Boone County Fire Protection District, the team was forced to temporarily suspend their operations along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, Texas due to a new round of severe weather and heavy rainfall impacting the area.
When it rains, it pours.

It doesn’t matter how many warnings went out. There was absolutely nothing that they could have done to stop it from happening. It happened so quickly in the middle of the night that there was almost no time for people to react. Politicizing it is next level fricking stupid.

Lots bodies are most likely caught in trees and debris in the river.

You don't understand a flash flood. Doesn't happen in MS or LA.

I have a close family member who has lived in that part of Texas for 15 years. What you are saying is true. We don't have anything like that in Louisiana. It blew my mind the first time I saw how fast the water came up

I keep seeing this pic. At first I thought some dick photoshopped it. But nobody said that it was and it still keeps popping up.
I’ve not heard anything about this, but some bodies have to have made it all the way to canyon lake? Don’t know how high the lake got after all of this. Or if they are looking in the lake.

I saw a follow up that it was a F250 and that they uncovered it to confirm there were no bodies inside.

I think it being a holiday weekend and it didn't matter how you were camping in a RV or tent if you were anywhere around that river you didn't have much of a chance. Looking at some of the videos on YouTube is freaking terrifying and that was the morning when there was light. In the darkness and the power of that rushing water is why it is so catastrophic. Prayers to all the families lost and hopefully most can be recovered.

I saw a video of a guy poking holes into debris with a stick looking for the smell of decaying bodies.

Rain is still spawning out of thin air in that area too to complicate the matters

True. I’ve seen Lake Travis get down below 630 multiple times thinking it would never refill. It’ll be at full pool by the end of the week. That’s 50ft of water in less than a month. Seems like everytime it’s filled, it does so in a matter of a couple weeks.
