“We responded to multiple calls of boats in distress, several of them sank,” but there are no reports of fatalities or injuries and investigators have not determined how many boats sank on the lake near Austin, according to sheriff’s spokesperson Kristen Dark.
Dark said the cause was under investigation, but there was no indication of an intentional act.
“We have no reason to suspect foul play in any of these,” sinkings, Dark said.
Dark said weather conditions were generally calm and meteorologist Paul Yura with the National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio said there were were no storms in the area at the time and winds were generally 10 mph (16 kph) or less.
“The lake should be fairly navigable, without issue at those wind speeds,” according to Yura.
Lake Travis is an approximately 19,000-acre (7,689 hectares) impoundment about 12 miles (19 kilometers) northwest of Austin.
A sad metaphor for the president’s campaign.
I pray for the good of this county and world. Trump wins.
We must defeat all dems they are evil.
I am please nobody was hurt. I wonder who will clean up the mess.
Obviously sabotage by those who learn from the violence of BLM
What’s with these boat parades? Never heard of such a thing before the Trump campaign? Do only wealthy Republicans have these big boats? All I have is an old wooden row boat
Chareidi Jews for Biden are proud chareidim, yeshivaleit and bnei torah who know that Trump has corrupted our political discourse and undermines the foundations of our Democracy. We are guided by true Torah values not faux Judeo-Christian Trumpian ones. We do not fall for Trump’s lies and deceit. We eagerly anticipate Joe Biden’s victory in November and are committed to making it a reality.
Trump means truma and Biden means din. Would you rather be judged or given truma?
