July Jocularities

There is catastrophic flooding here - it poured down in the Hill Country area west of Austin again last night, for a total of 15”-28” in the past 48 hours.
24 fatalities so far (12 of them little girls 8-10 years old at the kids summer camps) and still dozens missing - mostly children..
We’ve had only 4” of rain so far, as we are not even on the edge of the heavy stuff, and it will continue all day.
All this moisture is from the system that crossed over Mexico this past week.

Kids still being rescued by helicopters….

That's a horribly sad deal.

I caught the news on Texas this morning. I cannot imagine how the parents of those girls are coping. Prayers sent to all those affected.

My wife's family lives in south Texas so they are safe, for now. They have a couple of rivers on either side of them, though I think the are far enough east to get any major impact...I hope. Bad deal all around.

Prayers sent out…….I can’t believe that much rain fell in such a short period of time……My wife’s sister lives in Hiawassee Ga just spitting distance from North Carolina and thank God all she got from hurricane Helene was heavy rain but very close by there were roads and whole neighborhoods washed out, houses in the river and so many people who lost everything………..I can’t imagine losing a child though, so so sad
