@Burrows4TX ...Because we know we are on our own, anyway. Nothing has been done in Kerr County by the state in 9 months...

[megleeATX @megleeATX]

@quorumreport Why did the state approve Camp licenses and evacuation plans? The same plans that has been in place and used by all camps in the area for decades...?

[megleeATX @megleeATX]

@scottbraddock Are you also hearing anything about why the state took 11 hours to get to the area impacted after the first 911 call? Even after (so called) TDEM wrote they had activated search and rescue on July 2nd...?

Lt. Gov. @DanPatrick shared powerful tales of courage and faith from Texas flood survivors—ordinary people risking everything to save lives and finding hope even as waters rose.

@LtGovTX @TexasDSHS "The twenty-seven died in a place that can be blamed. The 92 died in places that can only be grieved. And you have chosen blame over grief because blame has a target and grief requires you to admit the whole system was the failure. Blame has a podium. Grief asks you to sit down."

[megleeATX @megleeATX]

@LtGovTX @TexasDSHS "...You told the county judge he should have been here the night of the flood. That his absence was a failure of leadership... Then you turned to the people who were here, the ones in the water in the dark pulling children out of cabins, and told them it was their fault..."

[megleeATX @megleeATX]

@LtGovTX @TexasDSHS "...You wrote the letter about twenty-seven. You called the hearing about twenty-seven. You asked the state to deny the license over twenty-seven. You stood at the podium and said those deaths could have been prevented. Where is your letter about the other ninety-two?"

[megleeATX @megleeATX]

@LtGovTX @TexasDSHS "Come to the river, Lieutenant Governor. Stand where ninety-two people were home, just home, when the water came and no one called. Stand where a man ran into the dark toward twenty-seven children and did not come back... Feel all one hundred and nineteen."

"The weather forecasts were all over the map, from a few inches, to possible flooding...potential weather somewhere in a very large area of TX...it could have gone somewhere else..."

@joanhuffman @TexasDSHS More than 800 girls and their families want to return to Mystic - they deserve that choice. Camp Mystic Cypress Lake meets every safety requirement outlined by HB 27. What all Texans deserve is the choice of sending their children to camp.

[megleeATX @megleeATX]

Camp Mystic Cypress Lake is in compliance in every way, and our Texas girls, who are future voters, deserve to go back. Parents deserve the choice to send them. 💚

[megleeATX @megleeATX]

@wesvirdelltx @DanPatrick The letter from @LtGovTX that refers to Camp Mystic is not even the camp applying for the license. Camp Mystic Cypress Lake is applying, and they have far exceeded the safety requirements outlined by the new legislation.

[megleeATX @megleeATX]

@LtGovTX @TexasDSHS No law will predict every natural disaster. We cannot, in the process of trying to undo a tragedy, wrap ourselves in the temporary idea that we are somehow going to legislate away grief, pain, fear, & catastrophe. What we can do is allow TX girls & women a place to thrive.
