Several boats have sunk and multiple are 'in distress' at a Trump Boat Parade on Lake Travis, Texas, authorities said. The Travis County Sheriff's Office on Saturday said it's responding to 'many boats in distress' on the lake located 20 miles northwest of Austin.
Authorities said they have received calls from throughout the parade route including Paradise Cove, West Beach, Point Venture and Hurst Creek, according to KVUE. No injuries or deaths have been reported as of 3pm, local time. (Photos) Authorities said they have been unable to confirm how many boats are in need of help or have sunk due to the overwhelming amount of calls they've received.

Bad storms have been popping up today, known to happen in Texas, and the other 56 states... Captains can keep an eye on that through phone Weather apps...
Watching the weather applies to airplane pilots too...

If there is trouble, fellow Trumpers will come to each others aid. If its sabotage or dirty tricks, God help the morons who try that, especially in Texas, where such shenanigans might be the last thing an Antifa or BLM smart ass get to commit.
Hope everyone is alright down there.

There is a photo on Twitter and believe me, the waves were large, nothing to mess around with.

Small boats, overloaded with celebrators, and then a squall line comes up? Could be bad. And lots of folks have no clue on handling a boat in large waves, will try to cross them sideways or worse, turn their transome to the waves without enough speed.
Best wishes to all, hope everyone is helping everyone who needs it.

Trump will get the blame for your boat not being sea-worthy, you can bet on it.

A few boats swamped, several sunk. We’ll get the true story in a few days or weeks…
The number of calls does not necessarily relate to the actual number of boats having problems, but it embellishes a shock and awe anti-Trump article in a UK tabloid.

No injuries or deaths reported.
Sometimes these events are complicated by green boat “drivers” rather than experienced boat owners. Overloaded boats. And adult beverages.

“Austin-Travis County EMS says it has not been involved in any of the boat sinking incidents on Lake Travis on Saturday. No injuries or medical emergencies happened as the result of these incidents and has not been requested to respond to any of them.”
Try to make It sound like Trump supporters are too dumb to drive a boat! Nobody hurt. Nobody injured. Nobody drowned. Dayum!

Hey DM, where are the boat parades for biden? His fans are too busy trying to kill cops and burn down cities, right? Admit it you commies. The President goes to a small town in PA and the highways are jammed for TEN miles. Who would drive to hear biden try to speak? You know the answer you limey communists.

I figure this article is intended to distract from the awesomeness of Trump support in the belly of Texas' bastion of rabidly insane liberalness.

I would guess that most of the "boats" that sunk were makeshift rafts and tiny dinghies overloaded with things showing their love for their incredible great president, Donald Trump!!!!
We did have storms in Austin, so there would have been squalls and rough water. But I know Austin partiers, and they would have just enjoyed a nice swim until someone offered them a ride!!!
Conservatives are normally a "silent minority" in Austin. But President Trump brings out the volume in us!!!!

I live in Dallas. We had some nasty storms here today. They can make boating on the lakes very dangerous especially when they are crowded.
