MEGA-LITE at George Strait Benefit Concert In early July, a devastating flash flood caused by intense rainfall, amounting to over 10" to 12" in some areas, resulted in the Guadalupe River rising more than 35' in under an hour. This created one of the deadliest inland flooding events in recent US history. At least 108 people lost their lives in Kerr County alone, many of whom were children. More than 2,000 structures were damaged or destroyed, leaving families displaced and traumatized. The flooding also severely impacted local economies, especially in small towns relying on tourism, which faced canceled bookings and lost revenue long after the waters receded. For many, the aftermath was marked by profound grief over the loss of friends and family. On Sunday, July 27, the benefit concert Strait to the Heart took place to support the victims of the recent floods that affected the Texas Hill Country. This event marked a significant step in the ongoing recovery efforts. MEGA Systems Inc. supports this meaningful occasion and enhance its visual impact. Country music legend George Strait, along with special guests, delivered a moving performance, complemented by a variety of MEGA-LITE lighting. A standout feature of the show was the Texas flag, illuminated at the back of the stage, symbolizing unity in a time of grief for Texas. The floods profoundly impacted the Texas Hill Country, where MEGA Systems is based. In honoring those affected, the concert provided a moment of unity and strength, bringing people together not just for entertainment but to stand in solidarity with their neighbors during this challenging recovery period. The company says in a statement, "Special thanks go to George Olson from GP Productions and Gabriel Rodriguez from AV Shop for their assistance with show logistics, as well as James Nealy and Victor Lugo. Without their support and that of George Strait and his friends, we would not have been able to support this event on such short notice."
