Kaylie HuntCORRESPONDENT
Um, so they are very, they're, they're in a different category from potential criminal charges that we could see come forward in the future.
Kaylie HuntCORRESPONDENT
Um, we reported a few weeks ago that the, uh, the Texas Rangers, and we've known this investigation has been ongoing for months now, but, um, they've, uh, filed some search warrants in Kerr County to look at devices of, of the camp owners and, and staff from that, that night in July.
Kaylie HuntCORRESPONDENT
And so, but yeah, that's a completely different category.
Angela KochergaHOST
When you say devices, you mean like phones or?
John CapodiceGUEST
So by getting that message out and knowing that we're here to support and to be able to get an MSA set up sooner than later would be a huge advantage to get disaster recovery going sooner and helping people and not wasting hours trying to find a way in and then a way back out again, of course.
Tom FoxHOST
John, I live in Kerr County, Texas, which had a devastating flood in July of 2025.
Tom FoxHOST
And you hit on one of the major issues, which was access.
Tom FoxHOST
There's one highway in and out of West Kerr County.
Tom FoxHOST
And that highway was either underwater, washed out, or in very bad shape for quite a bit of July 4th.
Tom FoxHOST
And no one was thinking about access before that date.
Tom FoxHOST
What about retaliation? Are you-- What are you doing to prevent retaliation? Are you doing a risk assessment to see where retaliation could occur against a whistleblower? And what training are you giving middle managers to spot retaliation? It's a topic we don't talk enough about in compliance, and I know you'll enjoy it.
Tom FoxHOST
I'm thrilled to announce my first book of general nonfiction, Day Lose Before Dawn, about the twenty twenty-five ca- catastrophic flood in Kerr County, Texas.
Tom FoxHOST

Tom FoxHOST

Tom FoxHOST
And also I ask that you check out my newest book.
Tom FoxHOST
It's my first book of general nonfiction, Deluge Before Dawn.
Tom FoxHOST
In this, I take a look at the July 4, 2025 flood, which devastated Kerr County, Texas, and killed 119 people.
Tom FoxHOST
I look at the flood itself, the county's and city's response, and the resilience of the community in the rebuilding and recovering effort, effort and how we got through our grief.
Ed ThierbachGUEST
So how do I know that? Well, I see there are some empty pews here this morning.
Ed ThierbachGUEST
I venture to say, probably, if we were to travel to those 70 churches... that are here in Kerr County, just in our county alone.
Ed ThierbachGUEST
Amen? If we were to go there, I'd mention that we could probably find room to sit down, that they weren't packed to overflow.
Ed ThierbachGUEST
Why? Because there are probably more people in town, more people on the river, more people in a park, more people camping, more people doing other things than being in the house of God this morning.
Jack ReeseGUEST
In fact, I spent last week, uh, about a half a mile from the Guadalupe River.
Jack ReeseGUEST
Uh, a year ago, last July 4th, in Kerr County, Texas, out in the Hill Country in Hunt, Texas, where, where I was, the, the river flooded in a once in a thousand year flood, though it happened again just a couple of weeks ago, and 130 plus people died.
Jack ReeseGUEST
It storms on the just and the unjust.
Jack ReeseGUEST
It...

Caroline Modaresi-TiraniHOST
Flash flooding caused havoc and killed 136 people, with 117 of those deaths occurring in Kerr County.
Caroline Modaresi-TiraniHOST
The Guadalupe River sits just several feet from the parking lot of the Kerrville Walmart where Peter works.
Caroline Modaresi-TiraniHOST
Luckily, the store itself narrowly avoided catastrophe, so Peter and his team put into action a disaster plan to immediately start supporting the wider community.
Marcy JarreauHOST
was up.
Marcy JarreauHOST
So if you don't remember, it was this camp located in Kerr County in Texas, I believe.
Marcy JarreauHOST
Yes.
Marcy JarreauHOST
Right.
