I absolutely agree!If there is any blame to go around, I would suggest looking at the Real Estate agents who saw opportunity many years ago to build in a place that wasn't built FOR GOOD REASONS. We saw the same thing with houses washed away during Hurricane Sandy, building on properties that should be left vacant. A few years ago a whole town in Tennessee moved and rebuilt a few miles away on higher ground bc their town kept getting flooded out.
This catastrophe shouldn't have happened and there is Always a history about a place to prove it.
I do not blame ANY of the residents in Kerr County. They are the ones suffering.
I commend all of the people who have shown up to help and to work and to comfort in this terrible tragedy.
I also commend the Weather Service. I am a weather geek and I hear the warnings and watches from them every week. There are always stories about people who ignored the warnings AND places where people are beginning to ignore warnings bc a storm bypassed them and hit another place.
NOBODY could have predicted when this river was going to rise to a catastrophic height.
It should have been predicted that it Would happen.
Many locals are saying that they expected flooding and road closures only.
Normal height for this river is 3 ft deep and their desert soil saturates quickly with maximum runoff.
I am praying for comfort for the families.![]()

My hurt from the death of my dog is NOTHING in comparison, just a tiny taste of their mourning.
Please CONTINUE to pray.
