Kerrville flooding aftermath. Downtown Kerrville at what was once a gorgeous park. I had to crop quite a bit to get it to upload. WTH. Does anyone know how to upload a 30sec video?? I have another one to upload but it’s going to be cut too much.
where the flooding occurred was in the crown jewel of Texas topography and beauty. This area is such a gem. Crystal clear waters where you can see 20 to 30 feet down to the river bottom. Beautiful oak trees sprawling across rolling limestone hills. Cool breezes near the river even in hot summers. I always dreamed of living near the river like this. beautiful people live here too. Hard-working Christians. This tragedy is unbelievable.
They are not allowing people to get close to Hunt, which is the epicenter of the flooding. That area was the most beautiful. We understand from locals that it washed the town away and it’s devastating. When you review these videos, you’ll see how powerful the water current was to uproot, massive tall, cypress trees, and throw them on top of each other. The pile is as tall as a building. If you look closely, you can see where certain trees have bark ripped off and or broken branches so you can see how high the water rose. It is so surreal. I felt like I was standing on another planet. It takes your breath away.
This video was taken from an overlook of the beautiful park. Locals were coming to view the atrocity and grieve, pray and pay respects. It was like being at a funeral wake. Locals are telling us that they are finding bodies in the mud now. They plan to excavate from Kerrville to Canyon Lake, which is miles and miles. They found bodies almost to Canyon Lake. People clearing debris, the chainsaw workers, are working alongside cadaver dogs, and having to be prepared to find dead bodies. They find dead animals every day, of course. I spoke to one of those workers and he said I really did not expect to have to see dead bodies. God bless all of these people. In the meantime I have been helping with local efforts and fundraising. I got my company that has a headquarters here to donate $100,000 to the relief fund. I’m very proud of that! Got no credit for it publicly in my organization, but at least I know what I did and so do some of my colleagues.
