 Welcome to the award-winning The Hill Country Podcast. The Texas Hill Country is one of the most beautiful places on earth. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with the people and organizations that make this one of the most unique areas of Texas. Today, I begin a two-part series with Lorena Guillen, owner of Howdy’s Restaurant and Blue Oak RV Park. The July 4th flood completely inundated her RV Park. In Part 1, Guillen discussed the events of the morning of July 4. Today in Part 2, she discusses the aftermath of tragedy and attempts at recovery. In Part 2, Guillen shares the harrowing aftermath of a devastating flood that hit her RV Park on July 4th. Her details reveal the initial chaos, rescue efforts, and the critical role her property played in facilitating emergency response. The narrative transitions to the prolonged struggles to restore her business, the challenges of navigating FEMA and SBA processes, and the emotional and financial toll on her family. Despite immense difficulties, the unwavering support from the community provides hope and highlights the importance of local resilience. This story offers insight into disaster recovery and the bureaucratic obstacles small business owners often face.
