Long road to recovery begins as Hill Country volunteers continue flood search and healing efforts
After 12 days, the initial adrenaline to jump into action is starting to wear off for some volunteers. Crews are starting to settle into what will become a long and complex process of bringing everyone home. Jodi Carpenter and her daughter Abigail love the Guadalupe River. The park where Abigail Carpenter grew up playing is now covered in crosses to remember those swept away by the floodwaters. "I'm talking to God and my, you know, my head going, 'what does this look like for the long haul?' God, you know, how do we plug into healing for the long haul? Because it's going to be different moving forward," said Jodi Carpenter. Twelve miles downstream, search efforts continue. "The last several days have been, they've been difficult," said Daniel Murray. "This whole situation is emotionally heavy. But the reason we're out here is because we know the community needs support." Murray is part of a volunteer crew that's been clearing piles of debris. His crew marks each pile with an orange "X" to let other teams know it's clear. "What happened here is, it's hard to wrap your head around until you're on the ground looking at it," said Murray. Murray's group is one of many working out of the Center Point Volunteer Fire Department's command post. "Concerned citizens are posting just right outside of our fire department. And they are coordinating and going on search groups as well," said Razor Dobbs with Center Point FD. For crews like Daniels' and the emergency responders, this is the start of the long, hard work to account for every person lost. "The goal is to bring everybody home. And there is no plan B," said Dobbs. For Jodi Carpenter, her daughter, and everyone else in the Hill Country, they're starting the long, hard work of healing. "We're going to have to figure out how to get in the water again. Not right now, but. Like we're going to have to get back there," said Jodi Carpenter.

Baltimore preservation group raises concerns after asphalt used to cover historic Fells Point road
A Baltimore preservation society is sharing concerns with city leaders after asphalt was used to cover historic railroad tracks in Fells Point. According to the Society for the Preservation of Federal Hill and Fells Point, the "inappropriate repairs" in the 1500 to 1800 blocks of Thames Street took place despite years of concerns and visits by advocates and transportation officials. The preservation group claims that the improper use of asphalt patches has further degraded the historic street's Belgian block surface. "Most notably, the Department of Transportation (DOT) has egregiously violated Article 6 of the Baltimore City Code, which clearly requires that all repairs be reviewed by the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP) before they begin," the group said in a letter to city leaders. The group also said the project violates the Baltimore City Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, also called CHAP guidelines, which promote responsible preservation practices. Under the city's CHAP guidelines, builders are urged to "preserve historic street paving materials where they still exist, even if the paving materials have been covered by later paving." The guidelines also ask builders to "assess the potential impact upon the character of individual streets and alleys" when starting new construction projects or improvements. In their letter, advocates said the community has been requesting repairs to Thames Street for the past decade. Around 2018, the city provided an estimate for the restoration project. "Regrettably, instead of following these documented and agreed-upon directives, DOT proceeded unilaterally with a hot patch asphalt repair, bypassing essential consultations," advocates wrote. "This action undermines public trust and constitutes a serious breach of established protocols." In the letter to city leaders, the group demanded a timeline for when the damaged street can be repaired. WJZ has reached out to the DOT and the mayor's office for comment. Parts of Fells Point are known for their historic significance, and the preservation society, which was founded in 1967, aims to ensure that historic areas of Baltimore are renovated and maintained in keeping with city guidelines. The Fells Point waterfront served as one of the biggest seaports in the U.S. during the British War of 1812, and was a major supply channel for guns and flour during the Revolutionary War, according to the preservation group. Thames Street, where the paving project took place, features historic buildings, including the Merchant's House, which was built in the 1790s. Preservation advocates have worked to revive the area as a major commercial and residential corridor.
