At least 4 boats sink in Trump-supporters boat parade on Texas lake
At least four boats sank Saturday in an immense pro-President Trump boat parade in central Texas, officials said.
Authorities responded to multiple calls of boats foundering on Lake Travis between 12:15 p.m. and 1:53 p.m. local time, Travis County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kristen Dark said.
No injuries were reported.
Firefighters helped pull people out of the wavy waters, Lake Travis Fire Fighters Association President Braden Frame said. A storm brewing nearby and heavy boat traffic coincided with choppy conditions on the lake.
“Those water conditions looked gnarly,” Frame told the Daily News.
Videos posted to social media showed scores of small boats floating on the water beneath a cloud-streaked late-summer sky. Boats carried American flags, Texas state flags and “Trump 2020″ banners. Helicopters buzzed overhead.
