South Texas Floods

This weekend we drove through Wimberley, along the Guadalupe River,
 and saw the devastation from the recent flooding. 

Had to stop short, because the road across the river had washed away. 

Lots of debris had washed up along the shore.

Do you see the missing doors and windows from all the houses?

The floods were strong enough to tear them out.
And now owners are in the process of gutting-out all the ruined stuff inside,

as well as taking away debris from the buildings that did not survive.

These are the trees that looked so beautiful along the river's bank.

But, if you look up into those trees...

you see things that should not be in there.
Yep, all around are extraneous things.

Some folks have placed some found items along a wall out to dry,

.
and perhaps to be reclaimed, instead of just throwing it all away.

Meanwhile these fellows have cut down this up-rooted tree,

and now they decide whether to chop it down a little more to move it away.

No, it's not just a dozen or so houses that have been affected.
It's everything for at least 100 feet back from the shore.

Let's hope nothing like this occurs again!
