Just a sit rep on my situation
For the past several days I have been caught up in this natural disaster called Harvey! I have watched it rain for 6, 7, 8, hours at a time dropping an inch to 2.5 to at times 3 inches of rain per hour. I watched on four different occasions water rise up to within a couple inches of coming into my home. I had to move my vehicles to a church parking lot down the road since it was the highest ground in the area. Each time the water was about to come in my house the rain stopped long enough to allow the water to drain off. I was one of the few lucky people. All my family members and friends got water inside their homes. Every home in my hometown I grew up in got flooded. People are hanging onto tree braches with hypothermia awaiting rescue in areas just a few miles from my house. This rain event put to shame any monsoon I experienced in Korea. We are ok, but there's nothing around. No way to get food, water, gas, or any other essential supplys as of now. We were prepared and have plenty of food and water. While the media and certain individuals try to divide us by race, economic class, gender, or religion a crisis shows the true love in most people's hearts for one another. Neighbors helping each other regardless of those things. Thank you to everyone who checked in on me!
