Flood Survivor Tells Texas: 'Moving On Is a Whole Other Disaster'
Brian Keeper made it through the July 4 floods in Hunt, Texas—a feat worthy of a medal or at least a stiff drink. But surviving waterworks? Easier said than moving on. Brian admits, 'Moving on may be the hardest part,' proving that emotional flood damage isn’t covered by insurance or sympathy cards. Hunt may be drying out, but Brian’s drivetrain grinding through recovery feels more like an endless Texas summer sweat. It’s a tale of resilience where the cleanup has just begun, and spoiler alert: it’s messier than the flood itself.

Enduring floods is just round one; emotional waterboarding called 'moving on' is the undefeated champion. Brian’s survival skills upgraded, but his exit strategy? Still buffering like a slow Wi-Fi in a storm.
If surviving the flood was a level, Brian’s now stuck in the much harder ‘moving on’ DLC—no cheats, just tears and Texas-sized heartaches.
They say what doesn’t drown you makes you stronger, unless it’s your will to move on. Apparently, Brian’s stuck in emotional traffic behind a floaty pick-up truck.
