08:34 people who know people, who had kids in the camp. The camp door you know like just horrific horrific heartbreaking stories heartbreaking stories and people are so traumatized they're just looking for anything and anything but logic I mean it's really it is so sad to me We all have supercomputers in our pockets, we can communicate 24-7 in real time. By the way I have a commercial app it's not from NOAA A commercial app that was giving me warnings you know for 48 hours flash flood possible My car even or Tina's car flash flood be careful
09:24 Then nobody looks at history, no one learns history anymore. People have lost their ability to stand outside and feel what's happening It was so obvious that if you are in a floodplain which is what all of this area is Now we're 1400 feet elevation so... We're not gonna get far Yeah, you are a little higher than us Yeah, we're good here You want to be up. But you know in the old days people would go outside and go hey this is not good, this could be a bad situation you know, we should probably get to higher ground. I can just see Paul Ingalls doing it on Little House on the Prairie. We are so connected we're ignoring nature! I've only been here for four years but even i know about the devastating floods of past years The Guadalupe River has flooded many many times actually have the list here It's unbelievable when
10:19 Not everything is well documented, but we have 1838, 1848, 1868, 1872 1906, 1913. 177 people died in that one. 1921, 1932 35 inches of rain. 1936 1952, 1972, 1973. All by the way in the month of July-August 1978 1987 this is not all that long ago for me That was you know the water went up to 31 and a half feet
11:04 and killed a whole bunch of campers who were in, you know their bus got swept away 1989 1991 1995 1997 1998 2015 18 2020 21 2025 it happens all the time but now all of a sudden it's the government who is out to get us no we're retarded We have all of this communication and all we're doing is sitting on TikTok and Instagram going, oh look at the weather it's raining. Even John Cornyn is a moron. And this was 100 year flood event in an area that had been known to flood but nothing like this where the flood waters rose 26 feet in about 45 minutes It's not 100 year flood event we're going back to 1987 here's an actual overview that way they had some video and some sensible commentary from KVU The Texas Hill Country has famed for its breathtaking scenery
12:04 with rivers winding through steep hills and rugged valleys. But beneath that beauty lies danger. This region is among the most flash flood prone areas in the United States One of the most devastating floods occurred in July 1978, when Tropical Storm Amelia made landfall in Corpus Christi and moved inland. The weakened system stalled over the headwaters of the Medina and Guadalupe Rivers unleashing torrential rain across the hill country. Eight people drowned near Center Pointe and 25 more lost their lives in Kerr, Kendall and Bandera counties
12:42 Then Governor Dolph Briscoe flew to Comfort to assess the damage firsthand. Until the recent July 4th floods, the deadliest weather event in the Guadalupe River's history came in July 1987 as much as 15 inches of rain fell west of Hunt in the river's upper basin A group from a Baptist church in North Texas attempted to evacuate their youth camp. As buses and vans tried to cross a low water crossing, a wall of water surged in from the west quickly engulfing the vehicles. Helicopter crews managed to rescue some campers and staff clinging to trees but 10 teenagers died
13:18 Flooding struck again in early July 2002 when Kerrville recorded 19 inches of rain, making it the city's wettest month since August 1978. Between Kerrville Center Point and Comfort an astonishing 40 to 50 inches of rain were reported Texas leads the nation in flood related deaths by a significant margin Between 1959 and 2019, at least 1069 people died in floods across the state. A large share of those fatalities occurred in the Hill Country a region grimly nicknamed Flash Flood Alley for good reason. There you go. So if people just knew history...
13:57 and thought for two seconds. It's not even really history, it's almost current events! I know that's what so sad about it and you could just there was a jet stream that was at like 5 000 feet... Being a pilot, I've studied a lot of weather and you learn to kind of look at the sky and see what's going on. And you read some reports, we have the terminal area forecast in the METARs and all these different reports. You're like okay this is obvious then you look at... What is the app? I pay for it because i like their radar, which they obviously are paying for my radar. And you can see it and this came from the kind of north-northeast that was moving very slowly so it was a very atypical storm but you could see it and it was obvious
14:51 In Kerr County and Comfort, you know Kerrville and Comfort then you know this is dangerous. But no people are TikToking Instagram in a way I'm not gonna say want to blame it on parents or anything like that but we I think we had more...I mean you're like that of course You're 100 years old now This is where people need to respect boomers because sometimes we know stuff Now we remember things History, someone in the troll room just posted history started yesterday these days. People are over socialized undereducated. The thing is it's not these days we keep forgetting that little aspect of it
15:32 This is not a new phenomenon for no history No, it's not but we but we we've got the old saying that if you know doomed to repeat its sort of thing The old saying is an old saying because there's always been this way people just don't you know they're looking for some quick Explanation like yes current. Yeah explanations climate change and A lot of that. Or if Europe's a conspiracy type, the government is out to get Texas Yeah and it's because Trump defunded the NOAA you know if we had those satellites you know Bill would be okay But I think the frustration for me is we have all the information, the historical information. We have... The data is readily available in many different forms and apps right there on your hand and we have not improved. And you're in a flood zone? We haven't improved! We're still just retarded
16:31 It's unbelievable. And by the way, it's not like I sat there thinking of that there might be campers in Kerr County. I wasn't thinking that but I knew that this was bad. I mean, I could see the storm just sitting there and we had a lot of water around the house but it's basically rolling off because we're at altitude So that's the sad part is we have all the capabilities and we just sit there, and we're TikToking and Instagramming. And then we're tweeting and posting and whining on The Blue Cry. Then when something bad happens then it's harp. By the way I used to be a big harp guy but this was clear what it was
17:17 Well, it's been going on for a hundred years. More than that. Routinely not even generational it's like every few years Yeah From the rundown you have which I think is the best I've heard to be honest about anywhere The one you just gave yeah It just makes it ridiculous. Yeah, anyways... And even more tragic! Yes super tragic and it is I mean everybody knows someone who lost somebody or lost their home or lost you know just it's devastating and there we go
