The good news is that we managed to go 24 hours without rain, which allowed the search efforts to continue for the 13 people who are still missing. They could really use some more hearty volunteers, able to walk at least seven miles in rough conditions.
According to TxDOT, the RR12 bridge over the Blanco River is now open, but with one-way, alternating flow until repairs can be made to the bridge's guardrails.
A photo lost and found has been set up at the Wimberley Village Library, so that people who lost most everything might be reunited with a few of their most treasured possessions.

If you are looking for a place to send donations, The Barnabas Connection is a local non-profit that has been here for a long time, and whom I trust to see that the money will go where it's needed most.

| Formal Living Room, I think. Hard to tell. |
 |
| Kitchen |
 |
| The one bathroom that's actually useable. |
 |
| Family Room? |

| Side Yard |
I must admit, I do love this quirky shopping cart grouping in the back yard.
