Bob,
The trees worry me. I have 3 +100' lodgepole pines in my yard. Thankfully no high winds now. It will be months, maybe years before Houston recovers from this disaster.

In the impacted area where Harvey has laid destruction & heavy rains, just hope any mild wind stay away for a long time. Anyone needing a chainsaw in the next months will be at their mercy. Probably time for those puppies to be harvested for peace of mind. You and many in that area of Harveys' path need not be worried of a pine that size coming down onto the house/cars or passers by. We all feel for everyone during this once in a thousand year flood. Who would have imagined? Americans are very generous especially during natural disasters. Too bad it takes one to show off. Best Sir, Bob

Curfew hours Midnight to 5AM is a good idea in Houston. Understand they arrested 14 for thievery and in true Texas fashion & law; prosecution of those individuals with penalties normally 5-20 years raised to 5-Life in times of crisis with mandatory jail times.
Thugs impersonating Homeland Security officials and others hijacking vehicles have been reported. Houston PD & fellow Texans will take care of these matters -- fine by me. Uncooperative, lawless idiots can let the law or worse case, a bullet decide their fate. Unfortunately the death toll is at 30 including a police officer who drowned after being swept away. RIP Sir -- thanks for your dedication to the welfare of the community you served. Best Sirs, Bob

Looters can have all the "free" lead they can carry as far as I am concerned.

Sadly,
"Flood waters in Texas continue to rise, creating conditions so severe that people trapped in their homes had no chance of being rescued overnight. Authorities said 911 lines in Port Arthur ― about 91 miles east of Houston ― were still overloaded as of early Wednesday, and that rescues had to be stopped overnight due to the conditions." "When Rescues In This Texas City Stopped, Residents Cried Out For Help On Social Media" “My phone is on 9% I’m 35 Wks pregnant !” one woman tweeted from Port Arthur. “Please keep calling for me, water is waist deep.” |
