Monday after the floods. I’ve been starting my mornings at this time talking with him about how to get through the week. Not today. I went to his office.
Late Thursday I snapped a pic of my friend, Bill and his dog, Sage. We texted until 10:24pm that night.
Friday morning I did my routine. Local news (streaming from San Antonio). Just after Paul Mireles weather changed to a concert on Youtube.
Daniel called. He can’t get in touch with Bill. The flooding is bad. He lives in an RV on the river. I wake Jenn up to go see the floodwaters and check on Bill.
We cross the main bridge in Kerrville. The river is running from end to end. The worst we’ve seen it is rapids down the main channel, still flood waters across the park.
Heading towards Ingram, the dam next to the water treatment facility is covered. A simple wave indicating where it is.
Turning left on the road to Bill’s park, I notice a strange noise from the lift station I help with. I’ll have to look into that. Emergency vehicles are blocking access to the park.
