Oh man, what a disaster.
Except for my street, entire area flooded.
A huge ladder fire truck got blocked by water on my street and had to back up a quarter mile, and then just loitered because there was no where to go. Firefighter friend told me they cant go above the hubs.
Bayou came all the way up to my street, about a mile, and stopped right in front of neighbors’ house. It was surreal. It had stopped raining for a bit and we marked the high water extent in the street.
abandoned cars every where.
I helped an old lady to a helicopter. Military coming in still. They are landing at church parking lot, zip 77025. Folks are messed up. I am A OK by comparison.
Tired from working pumps and draining buckets all night.
Thanks for the info-—I had been thinking of you and your family.
I’m in MA and cannot even imagine what it must be like——the TV shots never depict the complete reality of this type of disaster.
All we can do in this type of thing is keep putting one foot in front of the other,plod along, and let God handle the rest.
