Texas Flood Disaster Could be Far Worse than What's Being Reported

by Irontortoise

(……….)

Ryan Logue, deputy incident commander for the United Cajun Navy, told Erin Burnett on her show "OutFront" that Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was likely way off when he said 170 people were missing, 161 in Kerr County alone. That number skyrocketed from an earlier estimate of just 18.

"And now—that’s a huge spike to more than 170. But you've been there. I mean, did you always expect that number to spike like this?" asked Burnett.

Logue gave an eye-popping response.

"To be honest, personally, I think the number is closer to 500 to 600. That's my personal opinion. I'm not going to state that for anybody else," he replied.

Logue said that Center Point had multiple RV parks and campgrounds affected.
"All of those people are missing," he said.
