1. Holy crap.

It looked like some of those swept-away cars had their lights on...surprised if there aren't more than 4 dead.

2. Looks like the Texas Hill country! East Texas too! Lake Amanda is no more in Southeast Texas.

The damn burst emptying the lake last week and destroying the road.

5. I was stationed about 40 miles north of there

I never thought about it looking like Texas.

6. Just the flash flood part and the solar panels on the house.

The Texas hill country has a lot of electric cooperatives that pay the going rate for electricity from solar powered homes. The rest of Texas has companies like Entergy who discourage solar by paying a small fraction of the wholesale rate and raising connection fees etc.

Amazing how some of the vehicles came through without much external damage. How will they ever clean that mess up?
