Let us please keep our fellow Americans in our thoughts and prayers as they suffer all that Hurricane Harvey's dishing out . Texas is absorbing this storms furry and millions of people will need all of our help as soon as it is safe to render it .

If you want to help out , contact your local RED CROSS Chapter or maybe your local church or synagogue. Some organizations, like the Masons or the Veterans or the Unions, regularly send aid on such occasions .
Contact one of these or another if you can donate clothing or shoes or canned food or etc. ...

These people will need batteries, ice, clean drinking water, clothing, and shelter. I will be sending a small donation to the RED CROSS's Disaster relief fund. Can/Will you help out also in your own way ?

Thanks

I have a cousin who just moved to Beaumont, TX a few months ago. As of yesterday he was ok.
A cousin on the other side of the family who lives in the Huston area. I have not heard from her.
I checked with her brother but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

edit- I don't know how I ended up with the same post twice so I will edit this one for an updated report.
One cousin is stuck at home.
Here is one of the streets near his house.



My cousin who lives in Houston said they had 15 inches of rain by 5:30 this morning. Her house is built on stilts. The house sits 7 feet off the ground. She said they are going to get rain for another 3 days.

Please don't ignore our fellow Americans in trouble in Texas, any help will be appreciated .

Bud and Miller are donating water. I saw an aero photo. Walmart had nearly 100 semis lined up at their water bottling plant. All donated.
Some knucklehead said the 500,000 cans of water Bud was sending wouldn't be enough so it was a PR stunt. I told her of course it's not enough but it's a start. I mentioned Miller doing the same thing. She didn't reply.

They are all PR stunts, but who cares when the end result is something needed.
