According to Reuters, the boats in the parade created huge waves, causing some boats to sink, others to crash into rocks. Fortunately, however, no one was injured.
Lake Travis is a reservoir on the Colorado River. This is a popular spot for boat excursions, fishing, swimming and many other recreational activities.
Kristen Dark, a public information officer at the Travis County sheriff’s office said, it was predicted that the parade would increase the number of boats present at the lake, affecting movement, so a large number of policemen were arranged to avoid the worst case scenario. However, they still received many emergency calls.
The event “Parade to support President Trump at Lake Travis” was advertised on Facebook with the call for boats of all sizes and shapes to participate. Moreover, the owners of the boat should decorate it in patriotic colors, and hang as many flags supporting Mr. Trump as possible.
