As of this morning they are reporting 24 deaths in the flooding and apparently there about that many young girls still missing from the one camp. Lots of missing individuals, couples, and whole families so while they hope to find survivors it looks like the death count will go up. It is still raining this morning though not as hard as yesterday. As I said we are some 60 +/- miles south of the impacted area and were up to 1 3/4 inch of rain here, way less than the 15+ inches north of us which was just yesterday’s total.

What a tiring time to be working at the National Weather Service with less staff, funding etc.
They have done a good job at forecasting and warning for weather events this year.
We need the National Weather Service now more than ever.

Per the National Weather Service, The Flood Watch has been extended through 7 PM across central Texas including the same regions hit so hard. Additional rainfall amounts of 2-4 inches are possible with isolated pockets of 10 inches somewhere in the watch area. It is very difficult to pinpoint where exactly the isolated heavy amounts will occur.
Life threatening to catastrophic flash flooding remains a possibility today. Heed evacuation orders and have multiple ways to receive warnings!

We are still getting conflicting and different numbers particularly about the number of missing from Camp Mystic. Some reports now say 11 while others say 27. The number of confirmed deaths so far seems to be the 68 as Dipo posted but that is still expected to go up. There is one report of a female survivor found in a tree some 12 miles downstream from where she was sweep away. What little I saw of them getting her down it didn’t appear she was severely injured but they really didn’t report on her condition. Might add that even that report was subject to the “fog of breaking news” as one report said she was 20 miles downstream.

I read about the third generation owner of the camp who tried to get young girls from another cabin but he died with some girls when his truck was swept away by floods.
In the cabin with the large number of missing girls (at the time of the article it was over 20, so if you are hearing 11, Mack, that says more bodies have been found.
WaPo had a story with pictures inside a cabin.. All the girly items in bright colors.
The father of one girl brought out items to give to other parents. He went out resect and found a body, not his daughter, but got a picture and called in authorities.
Just intensely sad. I went to camp three times and just loved every grubby, mosquito bitten moment.. In the Irish hills in Michigan, in my case. So just a nightmare scenario.
Apparently at one point girls were told to get into the top bunks.
I cannot bear to watch the news (and edited out the end of the sentence)
Any news you post is trusted, Mack.

This article is really good sorting through all the muck to get the details of what happened warning wise.

I have spent the last 24 hours looking at media reports and social media posts about the Texas Hill County tragedy and being appalled by the level of misinformation I am seeing. I have tried to put together an updated, more reasoned summary I hope you'll read.
Latest on Texas Hill Country flood tragedy
quote:I put together an initial summary of my thoughts and perspectives on this event yesterday, but I have seen a tremendous amount of misinformation and misguided attempts to point fingers in the 24 hours since I wrote that post. Given that, I feel like it is important to share additional perspectives from someone who has as much experience in the meteorology and emergency management fields as I have. As part of that I think I need to point out where I see some potential failures to try to explain why a lot of what I see is misinformation and, in some cases, downright gaslighting. So even though I said in my post yesterday that I was going to avoid the blame game, I do feel like I will have to touch on where I see some potential failures in order to provide context to some of the misinformation out there.

It's hard to believe this flooding could have been so much worse.

Based on some of the reactions and comments I am absorbing by average people and elected officials, I think there needs to be a serious explanation and lesson on what the limits of predictability are for floods like the one in Texas.

What Matt said.
For example, if the rainfall west of Round Rock last night had been about 10-15 miles farther E or SE, it would have been a multi- billion dollar disaster with numerous casualties.

🚨 Haw River at Haw River, North Carolina is now forecast to surpass Major Flood Stage and crest 27.5 feet. At 27 ft portions of the town of Haw River begin to flood. If the stage were to reach 28 ft, flood waters would reach the bottom of the bridge across I-40.
Heed any potential evacuation orders. Move to higher ground immediately! This is a dangerous situation!
