110 dead.,most in kerr county but also travis,kendall,burnet,tom green and williamson.
during a press conference today ker county officials dodged questions of wether they sounded the alarm.
I have a couple of friends in travis county that lost everything . they are fine but their house is a total loss.
the kerr county officials should all be jailed.

(3,545 posts)thisis his statement
I'm very disappointed in Bob. In this awful time, he shouldn't be politicizing this horrible loss by making it part of budget negotiations and the collective bargaining with the union.
Unlike Bob, I actually talked to Chief Nim Kidd, the Chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, over the weekend. In one of our talks, I asked Chief Kidd if he was getting all he needed from Austin and if there was anything else he needed. He characterized Austin's response as "above and beyond".
I'm proud of our public safety pros. They are heroic. They are ready to help elsewhere. And they are ready to help us here at home. And I support our Fire Chief.

(264 posts)that will roll. It will evolve into the Chief bearing the brunt of the backlash that is occurring. ~ A diversionary tactic, and these TX politicians are good at it.
