Buresh Blog: Texas catastrophic flooding... Hottest time of the year... U.S. tornadoes
To become a part of the First Alert Neighborhood weather station network powered by Tempest - scan below &/or click * here *: Updated every day throughout the hurricane season - 'Talking the Tropics With Mike'. The world is watching & mourning as Texas reels from catastrophic flooding over the July 4th weekend. As of Tue., July 8th, the death toll is 109 & will undoubtedly go higher as dozens are missing. To put this in some perspective, there have been 765 flooding deaths in the U.S. since 1980. So the Texas death toll from a single flash flood event is a staggering 14%(+) of all the deaths attributed to flooding in the United States since 1980. There is a lot to dissect about how & why this tragedy formed & unfolded & why so many lives were lost. Some very important points to begin with: the Texas Hill country is a known to be prone to flash flooding & has a history of such there were some cloud seeding operations more than 24 hours prior - by Rainmaker Technology. But cloud seeding only seeds existing clouds & studies indicate the peak estimated increase in rainfall is only near 20 percent IF successful. This was a *natural* disaster. this was no one's 'fault' - politically or otherwise the flash flood was *not* manufactured by, created by or or manipulated in any way by humans or human technology. The National Weather Service offices in Texas - San Antonio & San Angelo specifically - did a good job issuing watches, warnings & advisories with adequate staff available & working during the flash flooding. Camp Mystic has grabbed many of the headlines as 20+ children, counselors & the owner lost their lives along the violently rising Guadalupe River. The river rose an astonishing 26 feet in less than 5 hours! Some folks (meteorologists & not) have blamed former tropical storm 'Barry' for the Texas deluge. So I looked back at the weather charts. What was a very weak Barry came ashore June 30th on the east central coast of Mexico. There is no recognizable spin (low pressure) at the surface shortly after landfall nor is there any upper level spin (vorticity) visible from the remnants of what would have been Barry. There was a strong push of tropical moisture northward from Mexico but that was amidst an already nearly saturated air mass that was engulfing much of Texas due to broad southerly flow out of Mexico & off the Gulf. So personally I don't believe Barry was the true cause & the death toll should not be attributed to Barry. But given the scope of the disaster, it's just semantics & the National Hurricane Center will most likely make the final call. So it appears it was small scale weather features (mesoscale) that came together at the wrong time in the wrong place to cause the disaster. During the middle of the night July 3/4, a complex of heavy thunderstorms developed over Central Texas eventually forming its own atmosphere, of sorts - a mesoscale convective system (MCS). The system managed to develop an upper level disturbance with a cyclonic (low pressure/counterclockwise) circulation. This helped to 'lift' the warm, tropical air mass even more & sustained slow moving thunderstorms over the same area for hours with rainfall rates of 3-5 inches per hour! Also included in the recipe: early morning - well before sunrise, so it was dark. long holiday weekend so campgrounds were full hilly terrain with topographical input helping to cause very fast currents Radar imagery from July 3-4 centered on Texas: Infrared satellite imagery: Moving on ... Jacksonville is now in the true 'Dog Days' of summer. Our avg. high temp. at 92 degrees is the hottest of the year & continues to be the avg. into early Aug. Our avg. high temp. does not fall below 90 degrees until near the end of Aug. Stay cool & drink lots of water! I came across this very interesting map - from 'PAwx' on 'X' of the strongest tornadoes ever recorded in each county in the U.S.. For instance - the strongest in Duval Co. is an EF-2... in St. Johns Co. - an EF-3:

Texas floods latest: Over 160 missing and at least 109 dead as full scale of the disaster becomes clear
The death toll from the Texas flooding disaster reached at least 109 victims on Tuesday, though 161 are still known to be missing, state governor Greg Abbott said. 'Know this: we will not stop until every missing person is accounted for,' he told reporters at a press conference. 'There could very likely be more people added to the list.' The majority of the flooding victims were killed in Kerr County after the Guadalupe River rose almost 24 feet in under an hour early on July 4, carrying off vehicles, RVs and lifting buildings from their foundations. Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp on the riverbank, confirmed 27 girls and staff members had been killed with five campers and one counselor still missing. Hundreds of emergency responders continued to search through debris with the flood's footprint stretching more than 100km. Earlier, Donald Trump confirmed that he and First Lady Melania Trump intend to visit the disaster site in Kerr County on Friday, but said they didn't 'want to get in anyone's way.' 'That's what happens – a president goes and everyone is focused [on them] – I don't want anyone to focus on us,' he said, adding that the situation was 'tragic.' Texas officials say they are 'working day and night' in flooding aftermath The Texas Division of Emergency Management said in an X post Monday night, 'Texas responders continue working day and night supporting impacted communities.' Rachel Dobkin9 July 2025 04:00 Flood survivor recalls 'terrifying' moment water started rushing into her cabin Leigh-Anne Aiken was staying in a cabin along the Guadalupe River on July 4 when water started rushing in. Aiken told CNN's Kaitlan Collins she thought she was hearing 'storm noises,' adding she has 'profound hearing loss.' She called her neighbor and he rescued her and her two dogs. 'By the time he got to me, it's maybe 200 yards, but by the time he got to me, the water was already to my knees,' Aiken recalled. She said the water ' rose from our ankles to our waist in less than probably 15 minutes,' adding it was 'really terrifying.' Rachel Dobkin9 July 2025 03:40 Kerr County bridge reopened after flood disaster A bridge in the hard-hit Kerr County has reopened after flash flooding on July 4. 'The Lemos Bridge on FM 394 is now open to traffic,' the Texas Department of Transportation's San Antonio District wrote on Facebook Monday night. 'TxDOT crews have been working for the past few days to clear debris and make the bridge safe for drivers.' Rachel Dobkin9 July 2025 03:20 Governor Abbott says 'our #1 job is to find every single missing person' Governor Greg Abbott shared photos from his day of surveying the flood damage and hosting a press conference in Central Texas. 'Right now, our #1 job is to find every single missing person. We will not leave until that job is done,' Abbott wrote on X.

'A DANGEROUS situation is unfolding in RUIDOSO! A FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY remains in effect!' the NWS Albuquerque said at 5 p.m. E.T. on Tuesday. 'Do NOT attempt to drive through the floodwaters. The current will carry away your vehicle!' The flooding emergency in New Mexico comes as the death toll following flash floods in Texas has risen to more than 100 people. More than 160 people remain missing there. In a local storm report at 5.50 p.m., the National Weather Service said multiple rescue missions had started at Gavilan Trailer Park in Ruidoso, and another person was trapped in high water.

The couple grabbed their two kids and headed for the roof where they stayed for about two hours. Offenbacker, an Iraq combat veteran, said their home is 'completely destroyed' and the flooding aftermath 'looks like a war zone.' A GoFundMe page dedicated to helping the family rebuild their lives reads: 'They are thankful for their lives but grieving the loss their family and community is navigating.'

'Our Kerrville Police Department team performed under life-threatening conditions. Our officers responded to the flooding they, for hours, were wading through thigh-deep, waist-deep, chest-deep water rescuing people from cars, from people from homes and apartments, risking their own lives to save others,' Lamb said.
