I believe that story is true but the number is not accurate. I did hear some conflicting info though that Eastland sr was accounted for but his son was still missing

If you have the idea to drive in and help, be aware the Schumacher Crossing on Hwy. 39 is impassable. You can't get to Hunt right now in a vehicle. I live in Kerrville and have family in Hunt and can't do a dang thing to help them right now.
People are gathered at the Hunt Methodist Church, and first responders are using it as a base of operations.

As a former coastal Floridian who fared many hurricanes seasons, don't have Red Cross a penny of your money. Samaritan's Purse is a far better steward of your dollars.

scholssisscum: Howdy, YOU ARE CORRECT! No help in Harvey and my Dad from the Pacific in WWII HATED them! We gladly donate to Samaritan's Purse!

My dad from WW II also hated the Red Cross.

IIRC, the Red Cross charged the service men in Europe for a cup of coffee. Little things mean a lot when in a foreign country fighting a war.

Just praying as hard as I can that the missing kids are there and it's just an information breakdown.

Dan Patrick in press conference (currently)
Some 23 children not accounted for. Does not say how recent he received that information, could be from earlier Camp Mystic message.

No reports of any missing from any camps other than Camp Mystic.

6-10 bodies recovered, some adults, some kids, some in cars washed away. Those deceased not necessarily from Mystic.

My daughter was at Mystic. I'm at the Elementary School in Ingram just waiting on any info. This has been a terrible day. I wish someone would give us something. I was not contacted before they sent out the email about all the missing childrens parents being contacted so I am still holding it together, but man this is dragging out.

I think lots of folks want to help, very understandable. Understand that this is a localized event….and not as widespread as a hurricane. It involves people and property up and down the river.
In the Guadalupe flood of 1978 our home and property was devastated. House had 4' water, trees down, drift and debris everywhere. My family was working hard with chainsaws cutting downed trees and debris off our house and barns etc.
I sat my chainsaw down as I was dragging some limbs to a pile. When I came back my chainsaw was gone. Looters were picking up and stealing lumber, tools, anything.
The looters were our largest problem besides all the devastation because law enforcement is busy helping in rescue and recovery and not able to patrol everywhere.
Lots of people show up saying they want to help but really just want to look at things and are more of a hindrance than help…so be aware of that.
So if you go help don't get angry if you are not let in the area. Those folks, landowners, first responders, local law enforcement and officials etc are at max right now.
Find someone or an organization you can coordinate with.

Agreed.....the last thing these folks in this area need is to be inundated with 100's of folk converging on the area even with the best of intentions

We are getting more information that LaJunta is completely destroyed but everyone is apparently ok. It was a crazy night. Counselors had to pull kids out of flooding cabins through windows. Really bad deal.


Man God Bless those counselors. I assume they are just teenaged kids and they're out there saving kids. Given an impossible task and it sounds like a lot stepped up massively. I hope someone like Mattress Mack comes in and gives them scholarships to college or something for their bravery.

Prayers. My great niece is still unaccounted for. Poured me a whisky and gave it up to the Lord.

Yea I decided to heed this advice. It sounds like they're being inundated with people wanting to help and have asked for everyone to stay off the roads.

I feel so bad for the parents. My nephew and niece are driving there and basically know no more than we do.
Have mercy Lord!
