I have many family members close to the path of the flooding along the Guadeloupe in the Texas Hill Country. So far, all of my family are okay...but many of the children washed away from that all-girls summer camp are still missing. The river rose approx 25 feet in less than an hour, in the early morning hours today. Rough timing...when everyone is asleep and not knowing that it's happening.

Came to ask this, remember you talking about Hill country.

My closest family members are in Harper, which sits between the two major flooding areas (and north of the Guadeloupe). My grandparents' ranch was in Mountain Home, on Johnson Creek (which doesn't appear to be flooding much. The major flooding of the Guadeloupe is in Kerrville, where my father went to high school.

Reason 3,455,302 why I hate living in the city: having two sets of Ken/Karen neighbors that border our property.

We've been out of town the past week. The kid that normally mows our yard when we're gone wasn't home, so we found a new person. Husband explained property lines and that one of the Kens has psychological issues (he literally screams at anyone that goes on or steps next to his property line, including city officials that have legal rights).

New person blew grass from our yard into the neighbor's yards on his second pass (first pass it was blown into our yard). Psycho Ken calls the new person over, berates him, new person walks up to the front of our yard to his vehicle & calls my husband, then psycho Ken drives by our house multiple times, stops once to say something to them. New person goes over and rakes the grass that was blown into psycho Ken's yard back into ours. Pretty soon we get an outdoor camera alert. The other Ken was outside with a leaf blower and blowing grass back onto our yard. Psycho Ken joins him, the one of the Karens. They berate the new person for blowing grass into their yards, plus scalping ours. It appears he may have driven into their yard with his zero turn, but we're not sure. My husband talked to the new person, told him that he did cut the yard shorter than he would've but to come back next week when he's home and they'd go over some things together - plus he'd be home to deal with the Kens. (Both are afraid of my husband because he's direct, stands up to bullies and is not a passive aggressive bully like the Kens and Karens)

This is the first year since 2022 that psycho Ken has even taken care of his yard - other than mowing. The other Ken blows his grass into the street every time he mows and doesn't trim.

Well that neighborhood sounds fun. Hope the vacation was good other than the grass war neighbors.

Thankfully my husband's cousin has a place on the lake and we're welcome to use it any time. My husband works remotely so it has been a sanity saver.

Also thankful we have our home for sale and plan to find a place big enough we can't see or hear the neighbors. Haven't had much luck yet on selling the home (had it sold within a week but that fell through just before the appraisal), but we're willing to go lower just to get out of here.

How miserable do you have to be that you want to make everyone else miserable.
