    That wasn’t a Sheriff. That was an assistant Firechief of a VFD. A patrolman was standing g next to him, but the assistant fire chief was doing all the threatening. Assnt FireChief, Chris Melton.

    Flooding in TX Hill Country/Kerrville

    Agree completely. The State and Fed response was poorly handled in NC. Here, the locals, including local gov, turned-to immediately. State was here in force same day, and army helicopters from Ft Sam, arrived within hours, and haven’t left. Chinooks are running supplies, and lots of NG, are...

    Flooding in TX Hill Country/Kerrville

    Today 7 of our members are providing comms support for teams searching for remains. Weather: scattered cloud, hot and high humidity. These young folks are working unceasingly. They are walking the river and floating on rafts. I’m on a station in the center of a big horseshoe bend in the river30...

    Flooding in TX Hill Country/Kerrville

    Somebody asked about cleanup. Some of that is starting, however the total examination of all debris piles is a slow, detailed process. Fish and game has cadaver dogs working hard, and any dog alerts are investigated minutely. That takes time. Compare to North Carolina, where officials (fema and...

    Flooding in TX Hill Country/Kerrville

    Today is more of the same: Still gray skies, possible rain. Our ham club is mobilizing some people to assist recovery in Comfort, about 30 miles south of here. Crews are picking through all the debris piles, along the entire stretch of River. Compare to NC, last year when they didn’t do any...

    When I see things like this, I'm certain we need another civil war. It's beyond time to eliminate these folks.

    This thread could easily be combined with Texas Plinking thread.

    Flooding in TX Hill Country/Kerrville

    As the water returns to lower levels, and is now nearly totally in the usual banks, many bodies are being found. The park emerged, and a lot of people were found there. That park is about a half hour drive from Ingram. Several dogs have been found, alive, no owners yet, but being cared for. I’ll...

    Flooding in TX Hill Country/Kerrville

    I posted some images earlier and wil post some more from our drive around yesterday. I’m in the local Ham club here, and monitoring the effort. Pretty sudden, and caught many inside their campers along the river’s edge. 14 Rv’s washed away in one park alone. The first two Images are after and...

    Lost power in Kerrville at 0400, came back on at 1245. Several homes and a number or RV’s by the river washed away, several cars, people missing, and/or dead. Our club Radio Facility is. Still dry, going back to check this afternoon, as a second surge is expected. There was a hell of a 4th of...

    My dad was stationed at Edwards, switched from Navy for the X-15 project. His part was adapting the B52 wing for carrying the X-15. Once they had that ironed out,and it would drop reliably, he switched over to finishing the trials for the B-58. They built a special hangar to fit the tail of that...

    Heat Injuries

    Since it is being mentioned in the cool images thread, I thought perhaps a light review of heat injury prevention would be appropriate. Long and short if it: HYDRATE. Here’s the link...

    Gun goes boom.

    No hearing protection, no eye protection. It was bound to happen. I don’t care who he is.

    Maggie’s Found something really cool recently.

    Books from two different people. Would like to know how the doughboy was connected. Most folks, according to my dad, lived pretty close to the back of the book, especially if living in town and raising kid, unable to garden. Tires, oil, and other commodities were hard to get. Neither has a date...
