Our street circa 3pm
Prayers would be nice for the carroll family, the pastor of our church. They lost everything.

We had 1 (confirmed) fatality, they are still looking for several more. Tommorrow im going to help my neighbors get what they can out of their houses that can be salvaged, some of the houses will probably be condemned. Schlitterbahn is SOL, the crystal river is a mud river and most of the park was under water. You know Adobe Verde on business 35? it had bad water damage.
I wasnt really sure how close the water got to our house last night, but if we had 2 inches more of rain we would have had water in the house. The barn was 4 feet under water. And our neighbors house (see picture one) had 3 feet of water in it.

Wow... God, It's a good thing I don't get there again for another month. Ash is out of town too...
Not to sound, uh, uncaring, but how did Naegelins fair? Any news?

I spent $40 there the day before I flew back. Was eating it the whole way back to Hawaii.

Cody is the first name, and his dad is named Brian IIRC. I think he drives a rednecked out dodge, and I haven't seen him since 7th grade, but I've been making a point to hit him up next time I'm in the area.

Crap that sucks. I was just down there this past weekend right on the banks of the Guadalupe for a family reunion.
-
Wow... just wow.
It's feast or famine with the rain. Last 10 years have been low rainfall in the Hill Country. That hurts the river rats tourism. Then bang.... total flooding.
We will be over there in August to get in some kayaking.
Will add the Carrol family and all of yall in our prayers.

Is Schlitterbahn ok, that place is great.

schlitterbahn had some minor damage and all the water turned brown, but other than that it's ok.
I know the dodge you are speaking of. I has a metal confederate flag as a grill, and is jacked up about 3 feet. The names sound familiar but I can't say I know them.
-
Only one section of the park is ok. All the rest is closed do to mud fouling.
Rocking R took some major damage all along the river. Several of their buses are demolished.

Tupac I wish you would have kept the rain away from Arkansas. We had some serious flooding last night 75 miles SW from Little Rock at Caddo Gap. The numbers stand at 16 dead and more than 40 people missing. God it looks like spring and summer are going to suck this year.

His isn't THAT jacket up, probably lifted about 3 inches at the max, with what looks to be 33 buckshots on there.

it has some big tires and it's red - is it the same truck?

No, his truck is a RAM 1500 V8 Magnum, and it's Navy Blue, from the looks on what I've seen on it, I'm almost certain he's thrown in 2 flow masters so you should be able to hear it comin' down the road. It's definitely lifted, and I'll definitely call it as a 4'' body lift. His may just be straightpiped completely, as the big redneck thing to do in that area is to just straight pipe them.
