You'll have 9 00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.519 a whole lot of fun when with the news of 10 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.600 what's happened in the Hill Country over the weekend, with 11 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.719 the massive flooding that took place there, in the devastation 12 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.399 that has taken place there. So we're gonna focus this 13 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:38.119 whole hour on what you can do, what we can 14 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:42.840 do as Austinites to help out. But this story is 15 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.479 heartbreaking on so many levels, you know what. I just 16 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.840 as you think about the kids at camp, these are 17 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.439 the camp that's getting the most talk, is the is 18 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.079 mystic can't miss it as these are little girls, yeah, 19 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.079 element aged, really all ages. 20 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:06.640 But I can't help it project myself into it. You know, 21 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.599 my daughter went to Camp Longhorn, YEP. But we could 22 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.560 have just as easily picked camp Mystic and you know, 23 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:19.000 it's it's always these tragedies, always harder when you go. 24 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.439 That could be anyone you know or myself. Yeah, and 25 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.040 that's how everyone's feeling like. It is just gut wrenching 26 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.200 the thing that I get choked up thinking about it. 27 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.359 Because our daughter's a camper. She's gone to the same 28 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.200 camp she was since she was seven years old. She's 29 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.480 sixteen now she's at that camp right now as a counselor. 30 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:43.239 We dropped her off on Saturday. But I mean, just 31 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.920 like picture keep picturing in my head the parents that 32 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.120 gave their little girl a hug mm. 33 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.599 Hmmmm and sending them off to one of their most 34 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.959 favorite places in the world exactly. 35 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.879 And it's it's it's hard enough when everything goes perfect, right, right, 36 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.000 did you the first time you dropped, Like the next year, 37 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.040 it's easy. But the first time you drop your because 38 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.520 they're younger, they're a little nervous. You're nervous, you don't 39 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.759 know how it's going to go. You know, you're like, 40 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.960 it's full of tears when you drop them off, and 41 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:18.719 it's full of tears when you pick them up. 42 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.919 Yeah, but there's a lot of smiles in the middle. 43 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.479 Yeah, because they get so connected, they make good friends, 44 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.919 and they have the time of their life. And it's 45 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.879 gut wrenching on both sides. That first year in particular, 46 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.919 and a lot of these girls were eight, so maybe 47 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:35.960 their first year. 48 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:41.560 Oh yeah, yeah, and very interesting you just to think 49 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.360 about how scared those girls must have been. But a 50 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.120 friend of mine who was a camper and then a 51 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.240 camp counselor all through her college days, even was a 52 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.439 director at a camp in her as an adult. But 53 00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.039 she was like she also was like, I can't stop 54 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:02.080 thinking about these sixteen our daughter, sixteen, sixteen, and seventeen 55 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.159 and eighteen year old camp counselors who all of a 56 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.439 sudden it was their responsibility to help save these small children, 57 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.560 like something so huge happening. They're just kids themselves. It's 58 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.439 just all the way around, just horrible. 59 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.759 And you know, you don't I think it's human nature 60 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.199 to start doing the blame game. Sure, but it rose 61 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.120 that that river rose twenty six feet or something like 62 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.800 that in forty five minutes in the middle of the night. 63 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.719 Yeah, like you know, they're asleep, Yeah, they're asleep there, you. 64 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.919 Know, they're waking up to water in the cabin and 65 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.960 by then, same thing with the RV part. And I 66 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.560 saw a guy that made it out. He's like, I 67 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.800 woke up to two feet of water in my RV. 68 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.400 So if it's two feet of water, it's already waist 69 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.680 high and flowing right a capacity to knock you over. 70 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.080 And then all the debris that hits, like, oh my god, 71 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.319 there's no in my opinion, there's just no one to blame. 72 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.479 It's mother nature and it it's just terrifying. I mean, ugh, 73 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.240 I saw some of the pictures on CNN, and you know, 74 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.079 and you see they showed a picture inside the cabin. 75 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.040 It looked just like the cabin my daughter was in. 76 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.800 Bunk beds and the trunks that are decorated with their 77 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.360 memes on it and stickers. 78 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:32.040 And ugh.
