Unfortunately what I've been reading doesn't look good. I'm reading that the water levels are continuing to rise, despite floodgates being open. The water is coming in faster than it's going out. If the rain rates remain constant for a while, this could mean that the water goes over the spillways. Houston issuing some mandatory evacuations in targeted areas related to pumping problems and the like.
Yeah, beware of used cars from the Houston area.
I think they should have R titles if proper channels are followed. Though that obviously doesn't always happen. Can always stack them up and create a border wall for Mexico.
And some never went back. But what I've heard is that the "Cajun Navy" is helping out, as they have the right kind of boats for this work (shallow draft for one).
People in La will do whatever they can. I lived in NOLA during Katrina and even though my house made out fine I had to work in Memphis for about 6-7 months while are work building was fixed up. From the second we got to Memphis until we left we were treated like royalty. Free dinners, discounts on hotels....it was great to see. If people aren't giving right now to the cause in Houston, they really should be. That city is huge and it will take years to rebuild it.
What's the best way to get money to where it's needed most?
If you are on Facebook, go to Penn State, there is a post for the Penn State Alumni Assoc., Houston Chapter lists a few charities.
All the erosion and debris hitting the structures could affect their integrity. It would be smart to do so.
I didn't catch much of the news this morning but I think they said it's picking up steam again over the gulf. Looks like it's not going away any time soon.
No. Looked to be due south of Houston and moving northeast. Looks to skirt Houston, thank God.
It seems to be a somewhat common theme that some have concerns about donating to the Red Cross based on past events. If so, here are some alternative organizations you can donate to if you are so inclined.
Here's the link where I found it. "South of Beaumont."
I recall reading that the State of Louisiana is paying for the gas for the Cajun Navy.
