The devastating floods that recently swept through the Texas Hill Country have left an indelible mark on our communities. From Kerrville to Hunt to Ingram and everywhere in between, families have been torn apart, homes destroyed, and lives forever changed. As locals with deep connections to the Guadalupe River, we share our raw and unfiltered experience during this catastrophic event.

What happens when sirens blare but there isn't a cloud in the sky? What do you do when you're separated from loved ones as waters rise unpredictably, cutting off escape routes in minutes? We take you through our harrowing experience of being caught on opposite sides of floodwaters, communicating only through walkie-talkies as cell service failed, and watching helplessly as trees fell and roads disappeared under rushing water.

The unpredictability of nature became our harsh reality. As we explain in this deeply personal conversation, weather forecasts and preparation can only take you so far when mother nature unleashes her full force. We share the moment-by-moment decisions that had to be made to keep our guests and staff safe, even as we watched the landscape transform before our eyes.

But through darkness comes light. The Texas spirit shined brightly in the aftermath, with communities rallying together, neighbors helping neighbors, and strangers becoming family. From chainsaws clearing roads to helicopters delivering supplies, from Pat Green raising a million dollars to George Strait organizing benefits, the outpouring of support demonstrates why you "Don't Mess with Texas."

We've lost family. We've lost friends. And while we may never fully understand why this tragedy struck, we remain committed to honoring those lost by rebuilding stronger, supporting each other, and ensuring their legacies live on. We invite you to join us in supporting ongoing relief efforts through the QR codes and links we've shared.

Hill Country Strong isn't just a saying—it's who we are. Listen, share, and help us keep the momentum going for those who need it most.
