To all my Houston friends/members. My thoughts are with you for the next few days. I hope Harvey leaves you all very minimal damage. I know Houston is known for its flooding. I wish you all well through this.
At about 3 am the city of Beaumont lost it's pumps at the water station. The mayor is now saying up to a week before water is back. I got up at 3:30 and drove around till I could find a station with water. {$30.00 a case}. We had plenty but you just never know.
There were lines everywhere wanting bottled water. It is nearly impossible to get water right now {12.50pm}. We are still flooded in at most points leaving Beaumont. Fortunately I got no flood water in my home and we have power. It's not like we can jump to the next town/city and get supplies. The Military is here in force rescuing people. Helicopters are everywhere. Florida sent a huge caravan of fire dept units pulling rescue boats. Individuals from different cities are here with their personal boats/airboats doing search and rescue. It is overwhelming to say the least.
