Hurricane Harvey

[goatgurl]

@greybeard you have no idea how happy and relieved I was to log on and find you back safe and sound. lot of praying going on for you and all the folks that have been affected by all this. now the work begins. I sure hope that you can get all your equipment up and running.
sil is a detective for the creek nation in ok and two teams are down there now doing rescue and now recovery. my heart aches for all that folks are having to go thru and trust God to give them the strength to continue their journey and at the same time my heart swells at the site of people pouring out to help others.
so thankful you and your wife are ok.

Brother, cousin, and friend arrived early this morning and crashed on my floor. They left out about 8am to continue their southbound journey. They've arrived at their first drop with donations and immediately the weight of the truck pulled them into a ditch where they got stuck.

Ahh.

Let it begin.

I wish I could help more but I can't afford to take off work right now.

With the water going down we have seen some strange things in the pastures around us.

Like @greybeard said, there's all sort of new stuff in people's pastures. Including stray cattle and horses that washed downstream.

Those painted-on phone numbers really make sense now, don't they?

 

[frustratedearthmother]

They really do!

@greybeard, I hope that list of tools and machinery is not a list of ones you have to discard. That is really depressing.

The looters were shooting at the responders so they could continue looting

Blows my mind that people can be that brazen about criminal activity.

[greybeard]

Any word on your missing cows GB?

Tho there is tragedy and misfortune all around, I couldn't help but think what the name of the river is, that flows by my place, and more recently...over it.
I can't say I won, but I didn't completely lose either.

Santa Ana met his Waterloo at San Jacinto and so did Harvey.
