TexanaRED, I am so sorry to hear about your situation. But as always, FReepers are a special breed. Very resilient and willing to help others. Those qualities shine in you, even in this incredably difficult time. I tip my cowboy hat to you!
Dittos to what Gracey said about FEMA and the insurance company. Try any route you can to get help. This flood is such a devastating event - that's what FEMA and insurance are there for.
I'm an Arizona Freeper, but picked this past week of all weeks to come back to Texas and vacation in Bandera. It's crazy that I am so close to you but I can't get there from here. We are in a condo well above the Medina River, so we are high and dry, but stranded until the road into this place can be repaired. Looks like we'll be around for at least a few more days because the town of Bandera is in such bad shape.
ANYWAY, I'm keeping an eye on your situation and I've got the address. Will do what I can to help in some way.
God bless you, and I hope you'll be kayaking again real soon!!!
