In a bit of tragic irony, shortly after I posted about tubing down the Guadalupe River two people were missing and feared dead after they jumped from a railroad bridge into the swollen river. I can't be too critical of their judgment. In my younger days I used to jump from the same bridge, although never during flood conditions.
Contrast this picture with the ones I posted after the Labor Day Weekend. Hard to believe it's the same river.
Not to make light of anyone's loss, but I must include my favorite Hermine-related story.
In LaCoste, southwest of San Antonio, officials were forced to close City Hall due to flooding along Pole Cat Creek.
Why is that my favorite? Because I found it so deliciously ironic and appropriate that the seat of government is located alongside Pole Cat Creek.
What a fitting name...
