Bring us miracles God. We pray to you that all the responders working will be given energy and sharp eyes to find all of those who are missing. Keep the missing safe and place your hands on them to comfort them as they wait to be found. Please be with those who are suffering as we wait to find their missing loved ones.

Amen

Geez. The death toll could end up 50+

Horrific.


Yeah, the camp aspect is absolutely horrific on its own, and I fear the toll going up much, much more from all of the RVs and homes. There's a lot we don't know yet on missing.

Praying for all the families. Cannot imagine the terror and fear and despair. May God sustain them.

Also praying for the first responders - they are having to see and deal with things most of us will be lucky enough to never have to see. They will carry things with them for the rest of their lives. May God please bring them comfort.

It's because there is poor reception because they are in a disaster area. Same thing happened with Harvey.

There's bad reception down there on a good day. CLJ for example had no reception at all.

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.

You know, as we look for where to place the blame, I think we will be amazed at the number of heroes we discover in the days to come. Glenn, a staff member, a camp counselor, the search and rescue teams and so many others I am sure.

I am continuing to pray not only for those that are still unaccounted for, but all involved in whatever way. Miracles do happen.

My wife has crossed paths with him a few times through work. She has nothing but good things to say. Very professional and does his job incredibly well.

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.

There was a blurb earlier on the thread about the horse stable. Anyone know the status of the animals at these camps? Did they all perish? Were any saved?

Hard to know for sure but as we understand it a large number of horses perished from multiple camps

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.

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.

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

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.
