Family Vacation Turns Tragic as Dad Goes Missing After Tossing His Life Jacket to Daughter During Jet Ski Accident

On Sunday, Michael Talley, 45, and his daughter were riding on a jet ski in Crystal Lake when Talley made a sharp turn, sending him and his daughter into the water, according to Click2Houston.

Witnesses at the lake saw Talley take off his jacket and throw it to his daughter, although she was already wearing one. His daughter was able to swim to shore, while family members watched Talley go underwater without resurfacing.

The SMART Dive Team, Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Wardens, and several other units are currently searching for the missing man.

“I’ve been a game warden for 17 years now and these types of situations are the worst things we have to deal with”, Michael McCall, Texas Game Warden, told Click2.

Michael Talley is a single father raising several daughters and a business owner living in Southeast Houston.

StormTracker13 Wednesday Forecast

Showers and storms will remain in the forecast through the next several days. The main threats are going to be heavy downpours and the potential for flash flooding. Certain spots have already seen 2-3 inches of rain in a short amount of time. A cold front is slowing moving in and will stall along the coast today. This will keep a good chance for scattered showers and storms with afternoon highs in the low 80s. By Thursday the front will start to lift north, again helping to spark off showers and storms in the afternoon through Friday.  Significant rain amounts are possible area wide 2-4 inches likely. The front should dissipate early Saturday as the Bermuda High expands westward. This will help to heat temperatures back into the upper 80s and low 90s towards the end of the week and weekend.  Another front will gradually approach from the northwest by late Monday.

Today, showers and storms likely, highs low 80s.

Tonight, Scattered showers and storms. Lows 70-71 inland, 72-73 beaches.

Thursday, Scattered showers and storms. Highs 84-86.
