@Molson_Hart No broker, you are taking out 85% of the market to save $20k to $40k but 8 months of vacancy is ok? Maybe consult a broker before building, The building lacks functionality. Good luck

The Supreme Court gave Trump the green light to keep dismantling the Department of Education.

Good. The federal department is largely useless.

It doesn’t educate a single child.

Here’s why we don’t need it:

For years, Europe’s economy was about the size of America’s. Not today.

Today, the U.S. is 50% RICHER--despite the EU having 100 million MORE people.

What changed?

‘Still in shock’: Texas woman rode out flood in kayak

My wife and I have been staying at Blue Oak RV Park in Kerrville, TX. Our spot was on the elevated second level of the park about 150-200 yards away from the river.
I happened to be awake around 4:30am when I heard screaming outside. I rushed outside to see the flood beginning to wash away the RVs in the lower level. I ran back inside, woke my wife up, and told her to quickly get ready and evacuate. We were out of the RV within 2 minutes and the water had already spilled over into the upper level of the park.
My wife and I, along with the owners and other people who were staying there, began helping neighbors where we could, knocking on doors, trying to wake people up, directing people to safety and assisting first responders who were beginning to arrive.
Quickly, the waters made it impossible to intervene anymore and within minutes we watched as the flood washed away the remaining RVs. Houses and RVs from up river swept through the park. We heard screaming and cries for help as families and children were taken by the waters. By the time we could locate them and try to find something to throw or provide help in any way, they were gone.
The first 3 videos posted here happened within 20 minutes.
The cries for help and screams, knowing there was absolutely nothing that we could do is something that will haunt all of us forever.
My wife and I are blessed and thankful to be alive. While we lost all of our possessions, we are among the lucky ones because so many people lost more than just possessions. There are still so many people missing.

To see the community come together in the hours and days following to help with search and rescue, debris cleanup, and general support has been so encouraging and beautiful to witness. The victims and those directly involved are dealing with unimaginable loss but are still looking for ways to help their neighbors.
Then there are the unfortunate instances of people, who have absolutely no idea what is actually happening on the ground, looking for a way to use this as ammunition to blame whichever side of the aisle they disagree with and even going as far to blame victims.

As someone directly involved, we are all just trying to help find those who are missing, help find pets, and locate any remnant of belongings that we or our neighbors have lost. We’re trying to fix the problem and not the blame.

Yes there were tools that could’ve been installed to prevent some of this and I’m sure those measures will be taken in response to this tragedy. There were alerts sent to phones between 3:00 and 4:00am of flood potential in the area. These alerts are not uncommon and people can easily become desensitized to these alerts when usually they result in little to no damage. This was also in the middle of the night when most people are sleeping and occurred on one of the busiest weekends of the year at the river.

It was historic and unexpected by all of those involved. No one wanted to lose their belongings. No one wanted to lose their life.

All I can ask of anyone at this time is to please take a moment to think before you assume you know who to blame or what went wrong.

There are hundreds and thousands of people who could use your prayers and help if you can provide it. There are 0 people involved who could use your opinion.

A real life illustration on the power and speed of a Texas Flash Flood . If you don’t understand - this is why people sleeping might have been swept away. This is few hours ago (afternoon of July 5) on the Llano River at the crossing of Ranch Road 3404 at the Kingsland Slab, a popular recreation spot for locals when the river is normal. I’ve crossed the river here and numerous other county roads on the river during bluebonnet season. You can see the rock (granite) structures on the sides of the river - which contributes to the velocity and rapid rise of water. It’s akin to pumping water through a garden hose with the spigot all the way open, and then putting your thumb over the opening.

When you attend church tomorrow - think about our families and remember us in your prayers.

Lake Travis (a flood control reservoir) was 637’ yesterday, it’s already at 653’ today — and there is a few betting pools on where the lake will stop rising in a few days. A full pool is 681’.
