Ep. 43 When The River Takes Over 🙏🏿

Description

The river is rising, helicopters are circling, and every group chat has a “friend of a friend” update that may or may not be true. We’re recording from a living room instead of the studio with our guest Alex McNew, talking through the Uvalde flood 2026 as it happens and trying to make sense of what’s real, what’s rumor, and what actually helps when the Leona River pushes past normal.

We get into the pressure points that show up during major Texas flooding: confusing alert timelines, misinformation on social media, and the temptation to drive around and “go look” even when roads are dangerous. We also give credit where it’s due to firefighters and rescue crews, and we share what it’s like managing a business with sandbags at the door, mud inside the lobby, and customers still wandering in like it’s any other day.

Because this is us, the serious talk gets broken up with the kind of small-town relief that keeps people sane: local food opinions, community characters, and a surprisingly passionate rant about the double drive-thru merge. If you live in flood country, care about disaster preparedness, or just want a real snapshot of how a town sounds when the water won’t stop, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with the one flood lesson you wish everyone would follow.
