Kindly hope we'll not mourn innocent victims.



Sources claim Harvey being one of the most dangerous storms affecting the US in 13 years.

This is one of those better days for a family affected by the hurricane:



My hope is for everyone to have some shining light in their tragic experience.

Most of all - Stay safe.

Thanks, to the family that provided the video.

The hurricane had left 5 dead and millions homeless, FEMA warns the death toll would arise within this week.

FEMA director Brock Long told The Washington Post yesterday that Harvey is "probably the worst disaster in Texas history", stating: “The recovery to this event is going to last many years to be able to help Texas and the people impacted by this event achieve a new normal.”

I was just watching the news about this. The flooding in Houston is really bad. A lot of people didn't evacuate there and were in their homes when they got flooded.

I heard the Sherrif's reasoning for no evacuation, Paul.

Apparently, the thought is that evacuating to areas outside of Houston would have made it worse as the county was flooded as well, and less resources would have been able to help if needed. This allows the city to care for the population in a concentrated area with available and incoming support.

Outside areas would then be supported at a lower level as direction allows.

Apparently, Rockport, Texas got hit the hardest, as expected, and about 50% refused to leave when asked to.

Volunteer rescuers, some called the Louisiana Cajun Navy, are being hampered by people rushing their boats, being shot at, threatened by the stealing of their boats, and the rescuers are coming upon looters and generally violent individuals and groups. The Samaritans have to rescue their own with boats broken down, and an air boat has been deployed to help out.

Rebecca posted on FB :

"Update: Me and my grandparents are ok, but we're officially flooded in. No water in the house yet, but the creek continues to rise and won't crest until mid Wednesday. We're on Colony West Dr. in Richmond."

Thanks, for the update, Mike.

Best to Becks and her family. I hope they'll not be any worse off for the flood.

Just got a call from a friend visiting in Texas (bad timing) and he said
the gators are getting out into the flooded streets and areas now. Yikes!
